Description: The Painted Bird Author: KOSINSKI, Jerzy Title: The Painted Bird Publication: London: W. H. Allen, 1966 Edition: First U.K. Edition, First Printing Description: Hardcover. Octavo, 208pp. A fine, crisp copy, but for a tiny smudge at one corner. In about fine dust jacket, a tinge age-toned. A pleasing example, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Kosinski on the half-title page: "For Brigite and Goddard, who know that time washes, but rarely purifies - with much thought Jerzy. New York, winter 1970." Kosinsky has signed his name again on the title page (using the same pen). Preceded by the U.S. edition, published the previous year. Nicely inscribed copies of this famously controversial WWII novel are uncommon. While we don't know the identity of the couple to whom the book is inscribed, it seems notable that the main character in Kosinski's novel "Pinball" was named Goddard. Fine / fine.
