THE KITE RUNNER by Khaled Hosseini




The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Riverhead Books, 2003.

When Hosseini's novel was first published, no one thought it would ever be the runaway best-seller that it became. Indeed, some first editions were actually remaindered. The book's construction is better than average, though, with black cloth backstrap and dark green paper boards that seem a bit more solid than is normal. Hosseini is well known for signing his books in both English and Farsi and the photo here is a great example of that. Standard first edition nomenclature.
