Description
Offered here is this nice hardcover first edition of Messi@h by Andrei Codrescu. I believe that the book is a first edition, however, I am unsure if it is a first printing. It has a copyright date of 1999 and was published by Simon & Schuster. It is in very good Condition. It has light wear at the corners and edges, as well as an ink mark on the bottom edge of the book pages. The paper dust dust jacket is also in very good condition with only light wear at the edges and some light scuffs. The spine and binding are holding very well and all 366 pages are intact and in good condition. This is a very nice book in excellent condition and an interesting read by a well-known author...
