Book Condition: Very good with some evidence in the covers of being knocked around a bit, small stain to rear cover, spine a little bowed. Interior quite untouched and the binding is rock solid. (Parenthetically, we're sure that Ms. Baliban did not mean to mislead us, so the responsibility should really be ours to break the bad news that what Ms. Baliban must have meant by "Signed" was at best: "Stamped with my signature", or even more likely: "Printed with a facsimile of my signature." From the ffep: "Author's memorial edition CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE by Carrie Baliban." "This edition is limited to five thousand signed and numbered copies of which this is: 3395" Followed by (ahem) Carrie Balaban's signature. Sort of. Memorial Edition [numbered and signed (not really) 5000 copy limitation].
