Gossip of the Starlings by Nina de Gramont is a scarce First Edition Advance Reading Copy (ARC) in uncorrected proof format. Published by Algonquin Books, this English-language novel is a large-format paperback released prior to the hardcover edition, offering readers a rare opportunity to experience the story as early reviewers did.

This gently used copy shows:

• Light rubbing and edge wear on the cover

• A faint stain on the bottom of the back cover
  (Hover over the photos to zoom in and examine condition.)

Uncorrected proofs are printed in extremely limited quantities for publicity and media purposes and are marked “Not for Sale.” Many collectors consider ARCs and proofs the true first edition, making them highly sought after.

📸 Additional photos available upon request.
