Amongst his screenwriting credits are Whistle Down the Wind and the Hitchcock movie Torn Curtain With his writing partner Willis Hall he was responsible for the television series The Frost Report, That Was The Week That Was, Worzel Gummidge and many others. His novel Billy Liar brought him international fame follwing the John Schlessinger movie. Signed copies of his works are remarkably scarce. A VG copy of this book, well-read with just minor bumping and slight rubbing to the corners and spine tips. The book is fairly straight and tight with a couple of small stains to the cloth at the rear board. The dustjacket is unclipped but has a split to the top corner of the lower panel with minor loss and is tanned, particularly to the rear panel. Otherwise VG. SIGNED at the title page (for the seller in person) and scarce thus.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
