About This Item
Stated First Edition; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this collection of stories, winner of the Guardian Prize for Fiction; sadly, this critically acclaimed author has passed on. This book has been called "shocking" and "obscene", but also "honest" and "beautiful". This copy is in near fine condition showing only some light sunning to the top board edges and one small stain at the top edge of the front board; housed in a clean and crisp near fine jacket that shows only some light rubbing to the spine head and a couple of slight rubs to the back panel, else fine. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
