Signed by David Foster Wallace on title page just above his printed name, through which he's drawn a line and added a proofreader's looping "delete" symbol. The book itself is a perfect, unread copy. The dust jacket has a bit of yellowing along its upper edge when taken off book and viewed from inside, and two small, faint, squiggly impressions on its back cover that are visible in angled light--as if made by a ballpoint pen through a couple of sheets of paper, leaving behind an impression of its path but no ink. (Cover photo shows reflections on its mylar cover over jacket.)

Uncorrected Advance Bound Proofs signed by David Foster Wallace; one of an unnumbered softbound edition of what the front cover in very small type labels: "Special Galleys Signed by the Author." This copy includes, laid in, a postage-paid postcard-sized "Infinite Jest Response Card" inviting readers to return it with comments on the book.

There are two small bumps to both the top and bottom edges of the book's very wide spine, and a very slight bump to the top right corner of the front cover, but otherwise a fine, unread copy.

The actual page count of the galley is 1,079 pp, though the publishing information printed on its back states 1,088 for the forthcoming hardcover.

Fine copy signed by the artist on the half-title page with a black pen, "Best Wishes from / Louise Bourgeois / New York. 1996." with a graceful, slightly-arcing line below her name. Binding and pages are in unread condition with a very slight bump to the bottom right corner of the front cover and to the corresponding bottom left corner of the back cover. There is a small orange-ish scuff near the upper right corner on the back of the dust jacket and a very small tear of 1/4" near the bottom right corner of the dust jacket (unnoticeable beneath the protective Broadart mylar cover over the dust jacket).

A beautiful, rare signed copy of this book from a point in the artist's long life when she had retired from public life.

This is an over-sized, heavy book which might require additional postage.
