Description
Inscribed by Margaret Atwood to E. L. Doctorow
Margaret Atwood. The Handmaid's Tale. Boston:
Houghton Mifflin, 1986. First American edition. Presentation
copy, inscribed on the half-title: "For Edgar Doctorow/with
thanks!/Margaret Atwood/1986". Octavo. [viii], [312] pages.
Publisher's blue cloth backstrip over gray boards, spine lettered
in silver, dust jacket. Jacket toned, mild dampstaining to jacket
spine (mainly apparent on the verso, some rubbing to jacket and
book, cloth spine lightly sunned with very light evidence of
dampstaining. Still, a near fine copy. With a promotional postcard
laid-in. It is likely that the "thanks" Atwood gave to Doctorow
is for the positive blurb (comparing The Handmaid's
Tale to Orwell's 1984) he supplied
for this book, which appears on the rear jacket panel. An excellent
association. From the collection of I.D. "Nash" Flores
