Dreams From Bunker Hill
Black Sparrow Press, 1982. 8vo, quarter blue cloth over khaki pictorial boards, blue and red titles, sea blue endpapers. 147pp. First edition, limited to 193 signed and numbered copies, numbered 193 to colophon. Signed by John Fante to the blank page following title page and copyright statement. The lightest of edge wear to boards, faint bump to corners. Contents clean, binding sharp and square. The fourth and final volume in the Bandini Quartet, a cycle of novels narrated by Fante's alter-ego Arturo Bandini, Italian American blue collar worker, young writer and Los Angeles transplant. Fante, suffering from blindness at the end of his life, dictated this final novel to his wife Joyce. The novel's dedication reads 'Also For Joyce' as many of his books had been priorly dedicated to her. A fine copy in the original publisher issue acetate wrapper. Fine.
