1997 Booker winner. An uncorrected UK proof ( Advanced Reader's Copy ). This is a bright copy, and as such it is tight and without inscriptions. The covers are bright, clean and unfaded. There is a tiny, tiny trace of bruising to the lower leading edge corner on the front cover. The spine is solid and unfaded. The pages and closed page edges are clean and bright. The binding is solid with no cracked hinges or loose pages. A lovely copy.
