About This Item
A nice first printing of the first English edition [Hutchinson London (1993)], signed by author Sebastian Faulks by way of a laid-in bookplate. The book is in very good condition with a slight spine lean, some spotting on the page edges and a previous owner's name on the front free end paper. The book has no remainder marks, a tight binding, with no highlighting or marking. The dust jacket is in near fine condition, not price-clipped (£14.99), with some small creases at the spine but no chips or tears and minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover which is easily removable. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
