Description:
London: Jonathan Cape, 1957. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5.5". None. First edition of this cheerfully cynical novel of the English book trade, by Michael Nelson. First edition. Business is slow at the provincial bookshop owned by young Michael Ransome, which suits him fine, since he'd rather be asleep or drunk than at work anyway. Unfortunately, there's the small problem of earning a living, but Ransome thinks he's found a solution. Written by Michael Nelson, a British journalist and novelist best known for his 1958 gay novel A Room In Chelsea Square, originally published anonymously. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, excellent with light shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine only. Original unclipped dust wrapper very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Near Fine
