1993 - River God

Arguably, Wilbur's most popular novel!

Macmillan published the first British edition on March 26, 1993

St. Martin's Press published the first American edition March 1994

I own an exceedingly rare Uncorrected Proof copy

I own 5 copies of the first printing of the British first edition, all of which are signed

The very copy that Wilbur gifted to his mother-in-law is now in my collection. "Mom" is Danielle's mother.

This copy was signed and dated on the first day of publication, and as such is uncommon
