Description: A Thousand Splendid Suns is a 2007 novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, following the huge success of his bestselling 2003 debut The Kite Runner. Mariam, an illegitimate teenager from Herat, is forced to marry a shoemaker from Kabul after a family tragedy. Laila, born a generation later, lives a relatively privileged life, but her life intersects with Mariam's when a similar tragedy forces her to accept a marriage proposal from Mariam's husband. All proceeds go to local homeless and women’s shelters in Colorado. Unread and stored. GORGEOUS bright cover. Binding is as tight as it came from the printer. Hardcover Jacket Grade: NRF Book Grade: F —————————— PLEASE SEE THE BELOW explanation for my grading scale to understand how I assess the quality of my book collection. I use an antiquarian universal, standard grading scale to ensure a clear, accurate description of the book and dust jacket. * New (N): The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been kept in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old. •Fine (F) New and Unread with Remarkable Dust Jacket. A Fine book approaches the condition of New, but without it being crisp. * Near Fine (NRF): A few small flaws are present Near Fine (FN): The book may have been opened and has no noticeable flaws. •Very Good (VG): A sound and collectible copy with some visible flaws but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted. •Good (G): A worn book that is perfectly readable but not collectible. Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted. Please ask any additional questions regarding dust cover jacket, spine condition or page condition BEFORE purchase! I am not a professional grader and strive to evaluate the item according to my 60 years as a rare book collector. All books have been stored in Acid-Free, Anti-Dust, Clear, Mylar Sleeves and out of direct sunlight. I do NOT collect or sell anything that is less than these grades! My collection is at the highest antiquarian level. It is all premium and VERY RARE. See my other listings for my large family estate sale of collectibles, sports memorabilia, audiophile vinyl LPs & CDs, signed books from major celebrities & world figures and vintage toys. All proceeds go to charity. See pics for all condition or details. All of my items come from a smoke and pet free environment. They are stored in a dry clean location. Most items are vintage and I will do my best to note any flaws in the description. No returns, ask questions re: condition here, on EBay. Thanks!
