The Rachel Papers - Softcover
THIS IS NOT A PAPERBACK. Jonathon Cape 1973, first edition? An enigma this book - has obviously been a library book at some point, jacket is laminated to boards,endpapers replaced, but has only a small portion of one stamp on front pastedown (almost negligible) However, has been rebound I think as index in wrong place, but all pages are present. A cheap way to complete your set of Amis firsts?? Images available. 11466

Review:
"Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving" (Peter Ackroyd)
"Scurrilous, shameless and very funny" (Time Literary Supplement)
"Extravagantly sexual-highly enjoyable" (Evening Standard)
"Amis's arrogantly assured manner is a formidable weapon, spraying the target with disdainful wit, ingenious obscenity, astute literariness, loathing, lust, anxiety and an all-pervading hyper-self-consciousness" (Observer)
