Condition

COLLECTOR'S EDITION, SIGNED BY KINSELLA ON AN INSERTED LEAF (unnumbered). With Easton Press COA and note laid-in. This book is the basis of the classic film, Field of Dreams (1989), starring Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones. The book varies from the film in several ways, especially changing the writer from J. D. Salinger to a fictional character ("Terence Mann" played by Jones) to avoid legal action from Salinger.
