About This Item
Andre Deutsch, London, 1955. Book. Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing) of the author's first serious book (leaving aside four thrillers, two of which were published pseudonymously). This copy inscribed by the author on the title page "for John" and additionally signed beneath the author's printed name. 8vo. 223pp. Purple boards lettered in gold at the spine. Top edge dust soiled and with a very minor slant to the binding. Small areas of light staining to four text leaves. A nearly very good copy, remaining really quite crisp and bright, and housed in the original pictorial dust wrapper, non-price-clipped but somewhat dust soiled and darkened, with a two-inch area of loss from the base of the spine panel, and some further smaller slivers from the head of the spine panel and from the corner tips and with several internally repairs short jagged tears. Quite a bright, fresh copy in a somewhat handled and damaged example of the dust wrapper, but still desirable with the author's signature. Rees A5(a)..
