A very fine { presentation copy } first printing in a likewise unclipped dustwrapper with the original �7.95 price intact. This lightly read presentation copy { if at all } is SIGNED' with best wishes and gratitude' by the Author to the title page, and DATED Sept 10th '82 { not published till 30th Sept } in the Author's hand that also retains the crisp fountain pen Royal Blue - Chatwin's trademark for signature. There is incredibly no fading of his inscription, so bright and crisp in compliment to this superb copy. Scarce to find with these stunning attributes. BOXED DESPATCH.
