Infinite Jest: A Novel.

First edition of the author's magnum opus. Thick octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by David Foster Wallace on the title page. Additionally signed by dust jacket designer Steve Snider on the front panel and rear jacket flap and his junior designer, and co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone on the front panel and rear panel beneath the famed 'Vollman' typo. Steve Snider designed the dust jacket for Infinite Jest while serving as art director at Little, Brown. His junior designer, Biz Stone, prepared the production mechanicals and inadvertently misspelled novelist William T. Vollmann's name as "Vollman" on the rear panel. The error escaped notice and is now the identifying issue point for the first state jacket. Snider first met Stone when he was seventeen and, regarding him almost as a son, later brought him to Little, Brown where Stone apprenticed under him for two years, developing the computer and design skills that would shape the course of his career. Stone would go on to co-found Twitter, making this otherwise minor production error an unusual point of intersection between one of the most celebrated novels of its generation and a figure who would help reshape digital communication. Fine in a fine first state dust jacket with Vollmann misspelled on the back panel. Jacket design by Steve Snider.
