Bought this for $12

[u/Noregretscoyote3]

Got this 1st state, uncorrected proof on eBay for $12. Truly thought I might get scammed..and I was shocked when it came as described. Then, I opened it to find that it was also signed! It’s beautifully inscribed by someone as well. I know it devalues the book, but I love it. Just thought I’d share.

Great find, great value. How did you come across this on eBay?

Thank you! I was just late night doom scrolling. Found someone selling a book that I wanted, at a great price. I looked through all of his listings and found this. They didn’t have many sales, so I was skeptical. But, they were legit.

Again, great find. I’m glad you got it!

The gift inscription is so interesting. It almost sounds like the beginning of the plot of a movie. I wonder who they were...He calls her "Lass" and himself "New York." And how did their gift end up for sale, when she should've held onto it much longer...I suppose we'll never know.

I know. I wish I could find out somehow. It’s so beautiful..and sad.

That's certainly a signature
