Boldly SIGNED and INSCRIBED by the celebrated author!SIGNED/INSCRIBED on the first, blank/colored page by the late, great Pat Conroy! Please note there is another signature and date present on the same page! Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to ascertain, with an acceptable degree of certainty, the identity of the other individual who also signed this book.We MUST apply an abundance of caution and assume it is simply the signature and date of a previous owner.We MUST proceed under the belief that the other signature has no cultural significance and adds no monetary value to the book.If anything, the additional signature and date should be viewed as an unfortunate flaw. Once more, we want to repeat that there is a second signature and date present on the same page as the Conroy signature/inscription.We believe the additional signature and date is simply the writing of a previous owner and should be viewed as such. A TRUE First American Edition/First Printing/First State with ALL First Edition Points present!
