BIG TROUBLE by Dave Barry G. P.. Putnam's Sons, First Printing, 1999 Condition: About Fine in same dust jacket After writing many humor books, Dave Barry has since switched to writing humorous novels. This is the First Printing of his first novel. It is in Like New condition, with the jacket protected by a clear polypropylene cover. But it is set apart from other copies by the title page. Barry signed many copies, often with a standard two or three-word inscription at formal book signings. But this is a presentation copy to a friend or acquaintance with an inscription that is more of a humorous personal note, with references to himself, his wife (Michelle) and his soon-to-be-born daughter (Sophie), (48 handwritten words in all), followed by his familiar signature. It makes this a unique and desirable copy for Barry's many fans.
