Hardcover

Description

London: Jonathan Cape, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good. First edition. The author's best known work and source for the film of the same name. Clean very good copy with hint of fading along the top edge of the spine. Boards ever so slightly splayed. Price intact dustwrapper shows a tiny amount of wear at spine ends. The wrapper suffers from some unusual pervasive wrinkling (see attached photo). Still, a decent copy of this classic.
