About This Item
The First UK printing published by Chatto and Windus, London in 1985. The BOOK is in near Fine condition with light pushing at the spine tips. The gilt titling to the spine remains bright. Light toning to the text-block and page edges due to the quality of paper stock used. Light spotting to the end-papers. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ or better contain. Light creasing and rubbing to the spine tips and edges. A little light spotting to the flaps. The red titling to the spine is only very lightly faded. The wrapper looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author to the title page. The author's first novel. Hilary Mantel went on to win the Booker Prize twice with 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up The Bodies'. Very scarce with such attributes - Only the second copy we have handled. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
