Michener, James Caribbean
New York Random House 1989 First Edition Cloth Fine Near Fine Signed by Author
Here is a very nice copy of the First Trade Edition of Caribbean. It was published in 1989 by Random House. The book is in Very Fine condition. The Dustjacket only shows minor shelf-wear. There are no bumped corners, no writing internally, and no bookplates. Michener signed this copy directly on the title page.There is no indication that this book has ever been read. Caribbean is another epic novel (672 pages) from James Michener. From the pirates and buccaneers to the American colonial smugglers the novel covers a vast and fascinating sweep of history. Mr. Michener's writing is at once poignant and exciting. He shows the human side of history by focusing us on the people who lived it. He was also kind enough to let us know which of his characters are fictional and which are historical. I found that to be very helpful. A really nice copy. We are pleased to send pictures on request.

Michener, James Chesapeake
New York Random House 1978 First Edition Cloth Near Fine Very Good+ Signed by Author
Here is an unusual copy of Michener's huge Bestseller, Chesapeake. The book was inscribed on April 4th, 1980 and it is a 7th printing. It was signed on the Queen Elisabeth II cruise ship and the inscription reads " At the end of a great cruise. Signed with the pen of Stan Musial.". It is dated and the QEII is referenced at the top. The book itself is in very nice condition and shows very minimal shelf wear. There is a bookplate on the inside front board with the name of the previous owner commercially printed on it. This is the name that is at the top of the inscription. The dust jacket shows light wear, particularly at the extreme top left of the back panel . James Michener, before he died several years ago, maintained an active interest in American sports. His book Sports in America is testament to this. I suppose that he either went cruising with Baseball Great Stan Musial or met Mr. Musial on board and struck up a friendship. At any rate, this is a very unusual association inscription. Chesapeake is based on the history of the American east from the late sixteenth century to the present. Although the novel deals with many historical events and persons, the author is mainly concerned with the people and other creatures that have lived around the Great Chesapeake bay and have been sustained by it. We are happy to send pictures on request.

Michener, James Covenant, The
New York Random House 1980 First Edition Cloth Near Fine Near Fine Signed by Author
From James Michener, the acknowledged master of the historical epic, comes this sweeping tale of South Africa. The book is inscribed 'To ____ with best wishes'. It is then signed and dated. The book itself is very near fine. There is the slightest shelf wear to the bottom outside edge and a couple of very light and tiny marks on the spine. The dust jacket is also near fine and shows some minor wear to the top and bottom. There is also a light crease to the inner front flap that is difficult to see because it has flattened well over time. The dramatic presentation of actual and fictional characters in a background of historical events is James Michener at his best. We are happy to send pictures on request.

This is a beautiful copy of the Limited Edition of Recessional. The book is in Fine condition as is its color coordinated Slipcase. There are no flaws to report. This First edition was limited to 500 copies of which this is #293. What is unusual in this copy is the presence of the "JAM" stamp on the limitation page. This is James Michener's personal stamp and in the East it is called a "Chop". I have not seen it on other copies of this title that I have stocked. It is signed by Mr. Michener on the Limitation page. Recessional tells the story of a group of people living and working in an upscale Florida retirement home. The young doctor, who has left his practice in Chicago because of a frivolous malpractice suit, takes on the job of running and turning the retirement home into a profitable enterprise. Mr. Michener's writing, as always, is wonderfully human and full of humor and poignancy. He tells the story of the residents and staff in a manner that will carry the reader right through the story.
