About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1994. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First Edition. Fine Book in Near Fine jacket. See description and scans. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1994. Stated First Edition. Octavo, illustrated jacket, cloth and parchment paper boards in two shades of brown, painting endpapers, 380 pp. + 1 pp, "A Note About the Author". Fine book in a very near fine unclipped jacket which shows a modest amount of small-scale roll at its top edge. See scans. Subtitled 'A Novel' in this American edition, 'A Way in the World' was described in the British edition as 'A Sequence' instead. Naipaul was at a point where he was, more or less, departing from the traditional novel form when he wrote this. A very handsome example. See scans. LG12
