About This Item
The Second UK printing published by William Heinemann, London in 1964. This, the 'Contemporary Fiction' edition, was published the year after the first Heinemann edition and two years before the Faber edition was published under the author's real name - Sylvia Plath. The BOOK is in Very Good++ condition. Bound in the publisher's original green boards with silver lettering to the spine, with a lilac top-stain which is lightly faded. Slight pushing to the spine tips with light spotting to the prelims and the text-block. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. Light edge-wear with some mild creasing and edge-wear at the spine ends and edges. Some fading of the lilac colouring to the spine as usually encountered. Some light age related markings in places with a small closed tear to the lower front panel edge. The wrapper remains very attractive in the removable Brodart archival cover. Loosely inserted are two 'Contemporary Fiction' Newsletters (numbers 21 and 25). Number 25 refers to this title being 'This Month's Choice' and the other newsletter has a full 2 paragraph review from 'The Listener' strongly endorsing the book. This second edition published in the 'Contemporary Fiction' series is the only edition, besides the first, bearing Sylvia Plath's pseudonym Victoria Lucas. Very scarce with the related newsletters. Collectible. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
