Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A first impression of the first UK edition, published in 1957. ***Please note that this copy has come from a private circulating library, and has some stamps and other ex-library marks. Jacket designed by John Minton. ***Very good in green cloth-co…vered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still quite bright. No bumps to the boards. Corners sharp. Cloth clean but there is residue from tape that has been used to affix a protective library jacket (now removed). There is a very light vertical reading crease to the spine. Page block edges quite clean with hardly any foxing. Virtually no internal foxing, but there is some offsetting to the endpapers. Pages clean and uncreased, but there are library stamps to the pastedowns and endpapers, 'Argosy & Scott's Libraries, Guildford', and a reference number 'R001' to front free endpaper and half-title pages. Some tape offsetting to the endpapers also [please see scans]. ***In a very good original printed dustwrapper, designed by John Minton. The dustwrapper retains the original publisher's printed price of 15s net. Whilst complete, the dustwrapper appears to have maybe been trimmed slightly along the edges of the flaps. There is also a light crease along the top edge of the dustwrapper - perhaps a production crease. Only slight wear and rubbing to the edges of the dustwrapper which is complete with fresh and vibrant colours. Some tape offsetting to the flaps of the dustwrapper. There is also a plain library label on the spine of the dustwrapper. ***190mm x 130mm. 256 pages. ***'I came to Warley on a wet September morning with the sky the grey of Guiseley sandstone. I was alone in the compartment. I remember saying to myself: "No more zombies, Joe, no more zombies."' (Quote taken from the start of the novel) ***'This book is about the violence which a young man does to himself and to others in his struggle to rise above the world of his childhood. Joe Lampton, whose story it is, was brought up on the fringes of poverty and squalor in an ugly North Country town, and has emerged with one over-riding aim: to fight his way up into the bright world of money and influence. When he moves to a new town and a new job and starts to live among comfortably off, intelligent people, it looks as if the campaign is succeeding. Since he is an attractive and energetic young man, it is not long before a very pretty girl with a rich father falls in love with him. Only one thing holds him back: he is himself in love with another woman. She is older than he, her looks are beginning to fade, and she is married already. But between them an extraordinary love grows up, a passion of both the heart and the senses, in which each of them finds a fulfillment deeper than they had ever thought possible. In an idyll of four summer days their love reaches its culmination and its end; because here Joe Lampton's daemon of success takes over, and brings about the book's tragic, ironic end' (Quote taken from the introduction to the book). ***A first impression of the true first edition of John Braine's famous debut novel. Although an ex-private library copy, with above noted faults, the book quickly went into a number of impressions, and first impressions in their attractive John Minton designed dustwrappers are getting hard to find now. ***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. John Minton (Jacket design) (illustrator).
