First American Edition of Love In The Time Of Cholera; Inscribed by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and signed twice by jacket designer Chip Kidd

First American edition of the author's work, which ranks as one of the great novels of the last half of the twentieth century. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "Para Erich, del amigo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez 98." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Carol Devine Carson and Chip Kidd. Additionally signed twice by legendary jacket designer Chip Kidd; on the front panel and on the rear jacket flap. Translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman.

"This shining and heartbreaking novel may be one of the greatest love stories ever told," wrote the New York Times. It's a "sumptuous book[with] major themes of love, death, the torments of memory, the inexorability of old age" (The Washington Post). The English-language movie adaptation was released in 2007, starring Academy Award-nominated Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro.
