One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez
First American edition, first printing of Màrquez's magnum opus, one of the most widely acclaimed novels of the twentieth century. In the second dust jacket with a period at the end of the front flap's first paragraph.
New York: Harper & Row, 1970. Publisher's original green cloth boards, lettered in gilt; pp. (viii), 422, [1]. No numberline at the last page, as called for on the first printing. A very good or better copy in a very good, price-clipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight, sturdy and square, minimal shelfwear to boards. Owner's bookplate to flyleaf, name and date to half-title with a small smudge, else internally clean and fine. Jacket remains bright and vivid, with light shelfwear to extremities and a few closed tears, one small unnecessary tape reinforcement to verso, trace of rubbing and dampstaining along the bottom of the rear panel. An attractive copy, protected in archival mylar.
