For sale is a rare, trade paperback copy of “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman,” by Haruki Murakami, featuring an out-of-print cover by artist John Gall.  This is the first Vintage International Edition, sixth printing. The cover has some heavy edge wear, with heavy creasing around the top of the spine and the top right corner of the front cover.  The bottom right corner has a small bend to it.  There’s some creasing near the spine.  The bottom left corner of the back cover has a small bend.  Page edges show some reading wear.  There’s a pinkish stain on the bottom page edges that I don’t believe is a remainder mark.  There’s some underlining and highlighting in green throughout the book.  Most of it is sparse and confined to the first 60 pages, but I found a couple pages in the 200’s that had some underlining as well.  Overall, this is an acceptable reading copy.
