About This Item
Peter Owen, 1986 First edition UK hardback, uncommon signed on the title page. Clean and tight, no owner marks, not ex library. Publisher should be ashamed for printing this fine novel on pulp paper. It is inevitably tanned. But ignore this production fault, for here is a scarce SIGNED copy, in a protected unclipped jacket. Language: eng. Signed by Author. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
