Description

Franklin Library leather edition Maeve Binchy's "The Copper Beech," one of the SIGNED FIRST EDITION series, PERSONALLY SIGNED by Maeve Binchy, Frontispiece by M. John English, published in 1992. Bound in copper gold leather, the book has marbled paper end leaves, acid-free paper, Symth-sewn binding, a satin bookmarker, hubbed spine, gold gilding on three edges--- in FINE condition. COLLECTOR'S NOTES is included. Maeve Binchy Snell, who lived from 1939---2012, was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker best known for her sympathetic and often humorous portrayal of small-town life in Ireland. She is an astute observer of what lies beneath the surface of everyday existence. A European copper beech spreads its protective canopy over an old schoolhouse as the unmarried schoolteacher, MADDY ROSS, harbors a deep love for Father Barry Brian---though neither admits to any feeling. Life also deals a difficult hand for poor MAURA O'SULLIVAN; still fate remains on the side of this resolved and courageous woman and her special child. Fatherless EDDIE BARTON, a social outcast, also has a difficult life. Like Maddy Ross, Shancarrig's young new physician, DR. JIMS, seems destined for a life alone---until he gets some useful advice from his dying mentor. Binchy brings to her literary canvas a cast of characters whose small-town life mirror accomplishments and defeats that share a universal resonance. 345 pages. I offer combined shipping.

    Seller earns high marks for very safe wrapping, quick delivery and right price. Book is in excellent condition. To no fault of seller, and unusual deviation of normal high standards of the publisher, I would not recommend this book to others. It has has very disappointing photography that distracts from art of Rodin. But I highly recommend the seller.

    Quite the surprised, at first I thought I ordered something from a pet shop because of the box turns out to be my order xD. My books were well packaged no noticeable box damage internally and externally. They were as described in the listing and shipped promptly in a 2 weeks window. Would recommend seller.
