About This Item
London: Hutchinson, 1984. First edition, first printing. Published by Hutchinson in London, 1984. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, bright and mostly clean throughout, has not been price clipped and retains the original £8.95 net price. The boards, bound in the publishers red cloth, are free from notable wear. The text blocks are bright throughout. There is a small, neat previous owners name to the front fly. This is a near fine copy. Just when Stanley Duke thinks it safe to sink into middle age, his son, Steve, goes insane. As if that weren't terrible enough, Stanley finds himself beset on all sides by women - neurotic, half-baked, critical or just plain capricious.
