HARDBACK - A near fine or better book, warmly Inscribed by the author to the first front endpaper to his friend, the noted bibliophile, Anthony Hobson. Anthony Hobson's book plate is present to the top corner of the front pastedown. Also signed by the author to the title page. The olive green boards are un-marked with very bright lettering to the spine. The inner text is extremely clean with no toning, foxing or finger marks present. The book is free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition with the lightest of toning to the spine, but the dust wrapper is free of any loss or tears, with the exception of a very small chip to the bottom corner of the front panel. A most attractive copy.

Kingsley Amis's first novel, 'Lucky Jim', is a comic sensation that paints a brilliant picture of academic life in post-war Britain. Following Jim Dixon, a junior lecturer, Amis illustrates a satirical journey through university pedantry and the inherent absurdities.
