London: Methuen & Co, 1960. Hardcover. Very Good. First Methuen edition, wrappered issue (preceded slightly by an acting edition). A small crease on the front wrap, a little soiling, a pleasing, very good copy in a custom cloth clamshell case with leather spine label. This is Pinter's own copy, unsigned, but apparently used as either a prompt copy or in revising the play for radio, with corrections (mostly deletions, some of them very substantive on nearly every page). The Nobel laureate's own copy of one of his first major works.

The Caretaker is one of Harold Pinter's most celebrated plays, known for its exploration of power dynamics and the nature of human relationships.
