Original Wraps. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. First and only printing of the true first edition - this copy in the scarce PROOF STATE with white covers (rather than red) and different cover layout. ***Very good in plain white printed card covers. The covers are largely clean, considering they are white, with just some light handling marks commensurate with age and handling, including a small stain on the front cover. The back cover is remarkably clean. The printed price of £1.50 on the front cover has been neatly crossed out in ink with £2.00 written underneath (possibly a contemporary re-pricing although this proof state would not normally have appeared for sale in shops?) No foxing or marks to the edges of the page block. Extremities of covers very slightly rubbed, with light reading creases to the spine. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Pages clean. There are some light creases to a few pages at the top corners but no tears. Importantly - no signs of splitting to the glued binding that this edition of Granta is particularly prone to. ***224 pages plus an unnumbered page on the inside of the back cover continuing notes on contributors. 202mm x 142mm. ***Contents: Richard Godden: Two Poems; Jerome Klinkowitz & Thomas Remington: Science Fiction to Superfiction; D.

The standard red covers published version of Granta 2 is very hard to find now, probably the second hardest Granta to acquire after the first issue Spring 1979 issue of Granta 1.
