Library Edition: Signed First Edition of Thomas Disch’s Triplicity

I have a fair amount of Disch, some of it signed, but didn’t have this title until I bought this from the Fred Duarte estate:

Disch, Thomas M. Triplicity (omnibus edition of Echo Round His Bones, The Genocides, and The Puppies of Terra). Nelson Doubleday (SFBC), 1980. First edition hardback thus (as per the ISFDB, i.e. 3816 printed at the bottom on the back flap of the dustjacket and gutter code K10 on page 408), and first hardback edition of The Puppies of Terra), a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with several 1/16″ creases at head and wear at points. Inscribed to Fred and signed thrice by Disch (as was his custom for this title).

Like media tie-ins, omnibus editions are among the last titles I pick up, but this is one I lacked (and I didn’t have any edition of either Echo Round His Bones or The Puppies of Terra).
