About This Item
Little Brown and Company, 1948 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Same date to copyright and title pages: 1948. Light blue boards faded at spine in spots and along edges also damp stains. Interior of the book is i very good condition, clean tight, no marks. The DJ shows some browning due to sun (?) but overall is in very good condtiion with minor chipping to edges. Made into a movie of the same name. By some readers The Loved One will be regarded as one of the most perfect short novels published in many years; squeamish readers, on the other hand, who dislike the gruesome are here by warned away from this fierce, passionate and haunting love story of a young British poet named Dennis Barlow and a young American crematorium cosmetician named Aimee Thanatogenos. .
