Covers nice and clean, with just some light marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling. Rear cover has slight crease to top edge and light crease to bottom corner, affecting the last few pages. Contents very good and clean, although the paper stock is of poorer quality than earlier issues of Encounter, and is slightly tanned. 255mm x 185mm. 96 pages plus two pages of adverts on the inside covers. ***This issue includes first publication of a four page short story by Ian McEwan entitled 'Without Blood'. ***'Ian McEwan's first book of stories, "First Love, Last Rites", has recently been published by Jonathan Cape' [Quote taken from Author Notes section at the back of the magazine] ***'The collection ["First Love, Last Rites"] is McEwan's first published work and was regarded by the author [along with his second collection of short stories, "In Between the Sheets"] as an opportunity to experiment and find his voice as a writer.

As a piece of work that portrays McEwan, the writer, at his youngest, it is perhaps fitting that the dominant theme is that of adolescence, of the blurry and perilous divide between childhood and adulthood; in addition themes of sex, perversion, and the grotesque in its many forms feature throughout. [Quote from Wiki about McEwan's first book of short stories] ***A very good copy of this famous literary magazine, which includes an early publication by Ian McEwan. ***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.…
