Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Described as the Chekov of suburbia, Stanley Middletonn won the Booker Prize in 1976, and his wonderful novels gathered an enthusiastic following. He was a prolific writer who built up his readership with his addictable prose style and his ability to make the ordinary extraordinary. Ronald Blythe wrote We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is about. And Isobel Quigley wrote, A rocklike example of excellence. His signed first editions are much valued and sought out by the discerning collector, and this is a superb example. It is simply signed, without a dedication, on the title page, and the book is in an unread condition, and inside a perfect protected jacket Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
