About This Item
London: Tom Stacey, 1973. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Not published. Tom Stacey went bankrupt before the books publication and only a very few copies reached the market, the majority being acquired by Severn House who, with a cancel title page and a completely different wrapper, issued the book in 1976. The Severn House issue is a very scarce book, the Tom Stacey virtually unobtainable; indeed, the 'Rare Book Price Guide 2010' puts 'not published' and 'n/a' where normally they would suggest a value. It appears that any Tom Stacey copies were acquired by a book-trade distributor who placed small address labels over Tom Staceys details on the copyright page and the back flap of the wrapper, and who also clipped and re-priced the front flap with a small '£2.25 nett' sticker. We are aware of only one Tom Stacey previously, a 'very good' ex-library copy. The present copy is not an ex-library copy and is in near fine condition in a near fine wrapper, possibly unread.
