Offered is the book "In Faulkner’s Shadow-A Memoir", written by Lawrence Wells and published by the University Press of Mississippi in Jackson. The book filled with stories of the author’s experiences as the husband of the great writer’s only niece has a 2020 copyright date, is a stated first printing of the first edition and has been signed by the author, with a personal dedication. There are numerous photos and illustrations in both black and white and color. The original dust jacket is included. Also included is a postcard invitation to the author’s presentation of the book to the Greenville Mississippi Arts Council on Sept. 17, 2021 (see last photo). A signed copy of this book is a rare find; at the time of original listing I could find only one other signed copy for sale on eBay.

The book is approx. 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" and contains 244 pages. It is in excellent condition. The black and white hard cover has no wear, the metallic words on the spine still shiny. There is no cracking inside either the front or the back cover. The brown endpapers are clean. I see no missing or torn pages and all are well-attached to the binding and clean. I see no writing in the book except for that of the author. The glossy dust jacket has no tears but does have some light wrinkling. The postcard has no tears but does have some light marks.

I have a lot of experience with vintage and antique books but am not an expert so please let me know if my description is missing information and you have additional questions. I will do my best to answer them!
