A genuine UK first edition/first printing, with 'First published 1959 by Andre Deutsh Limited' on the copyright page, and no later edition stated. A fantastic copy of Roth's first novel, in the scarce British edition (rarer than its US counterpart). This copy is in fantastic condition, not price-clipped, or ex-library, and with no inscriptions or marks of any kind. No foxing to pages, or waviness to the book block. Solid and clean. The tiniest amount of wear to one or two jacket corners, but no tears or nicks. A somehwat darkened jacket spine, but the famous yellow front is bright. Now protected by a removable plastic cover. More photos available on request.

Goodbye, Columbus is a novella plus five short stories by Philip Roth, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and is a reflection on Jewish and middle-class life in America.
