Mitchard, Jacquelyn : The Deep End Of The Ocean

Viking, New York City, NY, 1996

ISBN 0670865796

First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 434 pages. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print as a hardcover original only. The first print run utilizes an elegantly beautiful translucent glassine DJ. Being pricey, this First-State DJ was then replaced with the cheap, inferior stock paper Second-State DJ for the rest of the print run, and for all other multiple subsequent printings. As a production, the true First Edition is one of the most beautiful books ever produced in our time. The First Edition is now rare. Presents, in its First Edition/First Printing/First State, Jacquelyn Mitchard's "The Deep End of The Ocean". Her first, and still her finest, novel. "Displaying an infallible ear for family conversation and a keen eye for domestic detail, she writes dialogue that vibrates with natural and unforced humor and acerbic repartee. She charts the subtle and minute gradations of maternal love with candor and captures the essence of teenage experiences and lingo. The novel becomes a universal tale of traumatic loss and its effects on individuals and families, an astute inquiry into the wellsprings of identity, and a parable of redemption through suffering and love" (Publishers Weekly). The basis of the fine film by Ulu Grosbard, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Treat Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, and the ineffably talented and handsome child actor, Jonathan Jackson. An absolute "must-have" title for Jacquelyn Mitchard collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in blue ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Jacquelyn Mitchard June 1996". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and publication-year dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing/First-State translucent glassine DJ still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JACQUELYN MITCHARD TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0670865796.
