Stated First Edition. Once listed, this will be the Only hardcover, the Only first edition, for sale anywhere on the Internet. It was published in 1964. In 1986 another publishing house put out a paperback copy of the novel. I think it may also be the author's first book, though I'm not sure. He seems to have published several books in the 1980s and has continued publishing up to current times. As an aside, I purchased this book directly from the library of the former High Commissioner of Postwar Germany and Assistant Secretary Of War, John J. McCloy. However, he did not write his name in the book. It's not a book that is typical of the kind of books he had in the library. There weren't a great many novels. So, perhaps he was acquainted with the author, or perhaps he was interested in the subject matter of the novel. You can see the covers in the photos. They are pretty clean, just a few spots here and there, looking more like color loss rather soiling. The silver lettering on the spine is nicely bright and free of wear. The top and middle cover edges are in excellent shape. There is a little nick at the bottom edge of the front cover. The page edges are toned but clean, one little spot on the middle one. The corners are in good shape, very mild rubbing at a couple. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The pages look very clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling at all. There is toning, but it is uniform. I'm not finding any creasing. That's a bit surprising for a book published in 1964. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The book has likely only been owned by Mr. McCloy and myself. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. There is a little discoloration off the bottom of the rear cover. There is a tiny loss at the top edge of the spine and the top edge of the rear cover above a tear. There is a small tear off the top edge of the middle edge between the rear cover and rear end paper. There are a few other edge tears off the bottom edges and just adjacent to the bottom edge of the spine. I have the jacket in a protective cover is pretty much conceals the small edge tears. The spine has the smooth rubbing that you can see in the second photo.The flaps are in solid shape, a sliver of loss at the top edge of the rear one, along with a little bit of receded spotting there. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. From the dust jacket: 'In The Barrier, Carmen Anthony Fiore has written a stark and tragic novel of the failure of this society to come to grips with the 'social dynamite' in our cities streets. Bobbie Lee, the young Negro anti--hero of his novel, is the prototype of the thousands of youngsters who pass through the courts, social agencies, and jails of our nation every day of the year. His story is typical of the countless young people growing up in the depressed metropolitan areas of this country. Mr. Fiore has not been afraid to reveal the poverty, violence, and bureaucratic indifference which form the backdrop against which Bobbie, and hundreds of thousands of other youngsters, must attempt to act out the drama of growing up. In telling Bobbie's story, he has frequently pointed out the guilt which we all must share for our crime against these children. With an almost clinical objectivity which immeasurably heightens the bitter reality of the story, Mr. Fiore has graphically portrayed the plight of Bobie Lee. Many readers will be shocked by his descriptions of life in our slums, but they will not easily forget them.'.…

Description de la boutique
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
