Foreword by Graham Greene. Spine tight and uncreased. Pages unmarked except for a former owner name in ink to the first leaf (Highsmith's bio). Some edge-wear. A minor crease to the front cover at the foot and some patches of removed sizing to the back cover, where a sticker has been removed. 'I admire snails for their self-sufficiency, ' said Highsmith, who first began keeping the mollusks as pets after seeing them engaged in hours-long coitus in a New York fish market in 1946. 'I usually take five or six of my favorites with me when I go on holiday. ' This short-story collection includes two stories concerned with Highsmith's favorite creatures ('The Snail Watcher' and 'The Quest for Blank Claveringi'). Nice, hard-to-find Penguin UK paperback, with a clever cover juxtaposing horror-show titling type and David Thorpe's serenely scientific photo. 170 pp.
