About This Item
London: Hutchinson, 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. The author's first novel. Original black cloth with silver gilt titles to the backstrip. Pushed a little at the spine tips, the corners are sharp, the book is square and tight, the text-block remarkably fresh. Free from previous owner names etc, pretty much a Fine copy. The dustjacket is unclipped with no tears or nicks to the edges. It is, however, oddly creased and just a little bit stretched - the front flap may have been used as a book mark by a previous owner. Also quite creased at the crown. Neverthless, it looks great and is spotlessly clean - a VG jacket. Now becoming scarce in the first edition.
