About This Item
London: Reindhart Books, 1991. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 9" by 5.5". None. A well presented first edition copy of Kingsley Amis' first young adult novel, in the original unclipped dustwrapper. First edition, first impression. In the original unclipped dust wrapper. 'We Are All Guilty' was Amis' first novel for young readers, in which a teenager named Clive Rayner faces household tensions and, ultimately, decides to break in to a warehouse. He must face the consequences of this, and grapple with his sense of guilt and need for punishment. Kingsley Amis (1922-1995) was an English novelist, poet, critic, and teacher. He wrote more than twenty novels and six volumes of poetry, along with short stories and radio scripts. He was awarded the CBE in 1981 and was knighted in 1990. Collated, complete. In the publisher's original cloth binding, in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with no noticeable fault. Dust wrapper is also in an excellent condition, with just a bit of edgewear to head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and very clean, with just a bit of age-toning to margins. Fine
