About This Item
New York: Farrar , Straus and Giroux, 1975. Hardcover. NEAR FINE in Very Good Plus Dustjacket. SHARP CORNERS. A bit of light scuffing to board surfaces. Very faint edge fade. Dustjacket very good plus. Sunning to spine and edges. Illustrated jacket now mylar protected. Gilt lettering to black cloth spine of bright canary yellow boards. A vertical line of scrolled design on front board next to spine. Clean, tight, bright. 213 pp. "For his tenth novel, Brian Moore has devised a fiction that functions equally well as an evocation of the vanished Victorian world, as a narrative with elements of the surreal and the occult, as a love story, as a satirical view of the artist brought to bay by middlemen, and of course as an entertainment of the highest order," (jacket flaps).
