Brothers

FIRST EDITION is stated on the copyright page below full number line "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1". Boards are black with gold lettering on a black spine. Back of the dust jacket has four reviews.

Many of the signed copies are accompanied with the addition of the author's hand stamped "chop" and a large Chinese symbol in black-ink brush calligraphy. The symbols that the author paints tends to vary. So far we have seen symbols for "Good Fortune", "Longevity", "Happiness", "Joy", and "Summer". These signed books are beautiful, very unique, and potentially collectible.

To find the market value for this book, click on the pre-filled eBay, AbeBooks, or Biblio links to the right and look for comparable listings that have all of these first edition criteria.
