About This Item
First UK Edition; A Very Good or better book in a Near Fine dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this novel by the American writer famous for his outlandish and sometimes racy works; this is the first UK edition, uncommon in the marketplace, particularly in this condition. This copy is in very good or better condition with only light age spotting to the exterior text block and various page edges, mostly to the first dozen pages or so, else near fine or better. Housed in a near fine remarkably well preserved dust jacket that shows only some mild age-toning and spotting to the panels and some light rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and corners. One would be hard pressed to find a nicer copy than this one! Not remaindered, not price clipped (price on spine), not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
