| Better Than Home |
| by: Joe Hill |
|
Synopsis: Better Than Home by Joe Hill was chosen winner of the 1999s contest by final judge Adria Bernardi. Better Than Home was Joes first stand alone publication and first paid publication, two milestones for any writer. The story of a baseball manager father and emotionally skewed son will sound true to anyone who has known a kid who doesnt quite fit in. The story was included in Joes first story collection 20th Century Ghosts. |
| The book on offer is a1st Edition/1st Printing Please note this is the original 1st Printing from 1999 – not the 2nd Printing from 2007. A very elusive book and destined to become the most sought after Joe Hill book – his 1st stand-alone and paid publication. 1st Print run numbers are uncertain but it will be in the low 100’s – typically 400. Winner of the A. E. Coppard Prize for Fiction (1999) This really is the holy grail of Joe Hill publications. Online prices for signed copies are over £1000 and rising. I have 2 signed/dated copies, which you can contact me about if you are interested, although I am not in a hurry to part with them. Along with this book you will also receive a copy of other Coppard prize winners, namely: Catherine Glover – Raped Diaries Adria Bernadi – In The Gathering Woods - who incidentally judged the contest the year Joe Hill won. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
