John Kennedy Toole; A Confederacy of Dunces (1980) First Edition, First Printing Signed by Walter Percy - This is a First Edition, First Printing of John Kennedy Toole's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, A Confederacy of Dunces, published in 1980 by Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge & London. This copy is signed on a tipped-in page by Walker Percy, who wrote the foreword and was singularly responsible for the book’s publication. This is a tight, square, beautiful copy in its original first issue dust jacket (with the Percy critique and minus any reviews above the brick wall). This title today is considered one of the true literary high spots of contemporary American literature and is a serious literary collectible. This copy is a splendid and highly prized example.
