The Tennis Partner (Signed First Edition)

Stated First Edition/2nd Printing with the number line ending in a 2; SIGNED and inscribed to the title page by the author. A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket with rubbing to both the board and jacket edges, mild wrinkling to the pages, and some age-spotting to the text block; a handsome copy of this story of friendship between the author and David Smith, a former tennis player now Doctor under Verghese's tutelage. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in archival protection.
"The Tennis Partner" is a remarkable journey to the ends and the edges of friendship, to its heights of intimacy and clarity, and also to its hellish depths of deception and betrayal. It is, above all, an unforgettable, illuminating story of how men live, and how they survive. (Book jacket)
