Putnam's Sons in 1962, signed on the half-title page in felt tip, "Norman Mailer"; and The Armies of the Night, hardcover with dust jacket, published by The New American Library in 1968, signed and inscribed on a free end page in felt tip, "To Alden Whitman, after our interview at the Board table, Cordially, Norman Mailer, April 1968."
