Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First printing of the first UK edition. Originally published in the US by Black Sparrow Press, Santa Barbara in 1978. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. Tiny unobtrusive bump to the bottom corner of the front board. Tail of spine very slightly rubbed. No foxing to the page block edges. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. Cheap paper stock just very lightly tanned as usual. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £6.95 net. The dustwrapper is complete, with just a tiny crease to the bottom corner of the front panel, and a hint of creasing to the tail of the spine. No serious creases or tears. Unusually, there is no fading to the light-sensitive red colour on the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper crisp and bright. ***291 pages. 224mm x 140mm. ***'"Women" is a hard-hitting, savage, energetic tour de force about love and death and sex and drink, written by a man who lives life on the edge and who is now poised to gain the recognition his talent so richly deserves.' ***'Charles Bukowski has published more than thirty books of poetry and prose and the brilliance of his work has won him a devoted following in America and on the continent. Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean Genet both called him 'the best poet in America' and he has been hailed as 'the most important short story writer since Hemingway.' Women is a novel.' (Quotes taken from the front flap and back panel of the dustwrapper respectively) ***First printing of the first UK edition, extremely hard to find now, especially in the original dustwrapper in such bright, crisp, collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of the work of Charles Bukowski. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 6462
