First edition
New York: Knopf, 1981. Very Good in a Very Good+ dust jacket. Smoke-gray boards quarterbound in brown cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in silver. 446pps. Stated First Edition. This is an ex-library copy, though, apparently, lightly circulated. A library label is affixed to the front pastedown, a square of dried adhesive is on the ffep, and there are faint tape-ghosts on both boards. There is, otherwise, mild bumping to the lower tips and some dustspotting atop the textblock. That said, the text is quite clean and bright and the binding is sound. The dust jacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, is lightly rubbed and has a few short closed tears. There is none of the usual fading on the spine-panel of the jacket. The original price (13.95) is intact on the front panel. This U.S. edition precedes the British and is the true first edition. Considered one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth-century, this book received great acclaim, won a number of awards, and was named the Booker of Bookers. br br Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.
