First Edition (first printing) - this copy signed by the author by way of a bookplate pasted to the front free endpaper. 8vo. 208pp. Original publisher's red cloth with very slightly defective gilt lettering and rule to the spine. A touch of dust soiling to the top edge, and just the ghost of an almost entirely erased former owner inscription. A very crisp copy in the Anthony Gross-designed double-spread pictorial dust wrapper, non-price-clipped but a little nicked at the spine ends with several tiny fractions of loss. Small dealer plate to the front pastedown, obscured by the wrapper flap. The author's third novel; an existential classic..
