Richards, David Adams
Hope in the Desperate Hour
: TorontoToronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1996, . . , , Wraps w/French Flaps. As New. First Edition. Signed by Author. Richards has become one of Canada's most respected writers of prose and film, scooping up a fistful of awards in the process, and giving every indication that he will continue to do so. This copy signed by him on title page (although his signature has changed considerably from several years ago, when it was legible and held some appeal, becoming more and more just a few illegible scratches -- which this is -- to the quick and indecipherable short scrawl it is today; the most recent version is not quite as bad or inconsiderate as James Ellroy's miserable excuse for a signature, but it's certainly close enough to be recognised as a close relation). 223 pages, cover painting by Gerard Collins. Some scuffing to covers. An unread copy, internally tight and clean.; . , , , .
