THE HANDMAID'S TALE; [with signed bookplate affixed to front endpaper].
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, (1985). First edition. SIGNED BY ATWOOD on bookplate affixed to front endpaper. True first edition of Atwood's best-known work, a harrowing picture of a religious dystopia set in what was once the United States. Winner of the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987, short-listed for the Booker Prize, and basis for the popular television series of the same name. Near fine with gently nudged spine ends showing barest rubbing, flattened bumps to upper corners, and subtle indentation in rear board; in very good dust jacket with small triangular chip and attendant tear just touching the tip of "M" in author's name on front panel but otherwise only mild wear.
