About This Item
London, Andre Deutsch first edition - hard cover in dust jacket There is a superstition that you should enter and leave a house by the same door: thus John Nordholm, the alternately shy and brash hero of the first story of this collection, is the narrator of the last. And beyond that there is a sense in which it could be claimed that all 16 stories knock at THE SAME DOOR. 204 x 138mm., pp. 10, 246. D.j., closed tears & creasing top spine & extending into front/back cover, med. rubbed corners, closed tear front at foot, price clipped. VERY BRIGHT & CLEAN. NEAR FINE/VG.
