The author's first novel. A UK first edition, first impression.
Wrapper : The wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped. It shows trivial wear to the spine ends and leading edge corners. Well preserved. Looks sharp.
Book : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are sound, the corners sharp. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are slightly dusty. The text block is a little dulled. No foxing. No dog-eared pages. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. Uncommon. An attractive copy in a protected wrapper.
