London: Michael Joseph, 1962. First Edition. Very Good. Advance uncorrected proof copy of the first edition. Bound in publisher's beige printed wraps. Very Good. Creases to spine, rubbing to joints, wraps creased, light streaking to front cover. Textblock edges dust-soiled and lightly foxed. One of Lessing's best-known works, rare in this advance format.

Published in 1962, 'The Golden Notebook' is considered to be Doris Lessing's masterpiece, exploring themes of mental and societal breakdown.
