Pirsig Presentation copy of the first edition signed by the author New York: William Morrow & Company, 1974. First edition, first printing. Presentation copy signed by Robert M. Pirsig on the front free endpaper, inscribed to William Kemsley, founder of and reviewer for Backpacker magazine: "Dear William Kemsley[,] Many thanks for your insightful reading of this book. You've seen its main point-- an effort toward a new mythos-- which other reviewers have curiously overlooked. Robert M Pirsig June 21. 1974." 412 pp. Bound in publisher's original black paper boards over black spine cloth lettered in silver. A Fine copy, unread and bright internally, with textblock slightly sunken, as is typical, in an excellent example of the jacket with a tiny pucker along the front gutter, else Fine. A superior copy of a fragile, cheaply-produced book almost always encountered looking like it was run over by a leaky motorcycle. A classic of modern spirituality, with a very nice inscription.
