About This Item
London: Private Eye/Andre Deutsch, 1979 . First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. 8" by 5". None. A smart, first edition of 'Goldenballs' by Richard Ingrams, in the original, unclipped, dust wrapper. First edition, in the publisher's original, smart black cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Written by Richard Ingrams, who is an English journalist, novelist and the co-founder of Private Eye. This particular work is part a real-life thriller, part comedy, depicting the unusual story of the long and difficult legal battle between Sir James Goldsmith and Private Eye. In 1976 Goldsmith issues more than sixty libel writs against the magazine, with the legal struggle lasting over a year. 'Goldenballs' presents this story from Ingram's point of view, giving his theory as to why the case was brought up in the first place. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with very light bumping and a touch of fading to the extremities. Dust wrapper is smart, with light chipping and the odd tear. A small cut to the top of the wrap and the occasional mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages very bright and clean. Near Fine
