Sharpe. Published by William Morrow and Company, this definitive work comes complete with its original protective slipcase.

What makes this specific volume an exceptional collector's centerpiece is a bold, personal inscription and signature by the author himself on the flyleaf: "Greetings Mr. Shorter - Philip B. Sharpe".

Condition:
The book is in stunning near-mint condition given its age. It appears virtually unread, having spent decades safely stored inside its slipcase. The pebble-grained burgundy cloth binding remains tight, crisp, and square. The gold gilt lettering and rifle motifs on the front cover and spine are beautifully bright and free of rubbing. Interior pages are clean, bright, and completely free of marks or foxing. The slipcase shows only minor, age-appropriate shelf wear.
