Everyman's Library London, 2013 These superb and elegantly designed books were relaunched in 1991, to great praise. A. S. Byatt said 'They are so beautifully produced. They are a form of civilization.' John Updike wrote, 'They are the edition of record.' They are, unsurprisingly, being collected, and the first printings especially. This is one of them. Apart from being one of the greatest novels of the 20thC this edition has a unique introduction by Philip Hensher. There is a fascinating chronology, a bibliography, and an elegant setting, as befits this masterwork. A silk marker is bound in and the scarlet cloth binding has a black panel on the spine with the title in gilt. This copy has a mylar sleeved jacket, which is unclipped. An unread looking book, and a first edition thus. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. As New/As New.
