Boston:: Houghton Mifflin,, 1990.. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine, unclipped dust jacket. This copy is signed by O'Brien. While this collection of stories involving a single platoon in Vietnam is referred to as a work of fiction it is difficult to determine where the line between fact and imagination begins and ends. "The Things They Carried" is considered one of the two best portrayals of the war experience in Vietnam along with Michael Herr's "Dispatches." "Things" is simply a tour-de-force of exquisite writing about the time, the place, and the men who experienced that particular conflict.
Signed first edition, hardcover. Signed by author on full title page. Binding square and solid, text and edges unblemished, DJ bright and unfaded. Flier from signing event laid in. Unclipped DJ protected with Brodart cover. Full number line, 8vo.
