Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by The Bodley Head, London in 1984. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Publisher's original black cloth with silver lettering to the spine. The binding remains tight and square, minimally bumped to the top corners. Th…e book has been signed (without dedication) in black ink by the author to the title page. There is a 3 cm diagonal line in black ink at the top of page 161 (also visible for a couple of millimetres at the top of page 163); the ink matches that of the author's signature, so may well have been an accident during the signing session (the book's otherwise near immaculate state would support this theory). The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. The top outer right corner is a little rubbed, with some silver visible beneath the black and a tiny closed tear to the paper at the rear at the same spot. There are a few very light scratches visible to the silver portion of the front panel. The wrapper is notorious for being easily rubbed and damaged. This wrapper is in exceptional condition and is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. This title was never reprinted or issued in a paperback format. In the author's own words : 'There are some okay things in it. The action scenes and some of the descriptions of London. But it's so far from what I went on to write that I think it was a distraction, a kind of throat-clearing'. A very attractive copy of the author's debut novel which is extremely scarce to find as a signed title in such collectible condition. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Signed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of Faulks' first novel. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper in the year of publication, "Sally - I hope this doesn't give you bad dreams. Love, Sebastian Jan. 89." The recipient, British photojournalist Sally Soames, worked for The Sunday Times from 1968 unti…l 2000 and was highly regarded for her exclusively black and white portraits of many of the most prominent figures of the 20th century including Menachem Begin, Margaret Atwood, Margaret Thatcher, Sean Connery, Rudolf Nureyev, Alec Guinness and Andy Warhol. Soames, who was known to be a warm and personal journalist, performed extensive research on her subjects and developed intimate rapports with them during her process, resulting in striking and revealing portraits. In addition to the several world leaders Soames came to know and photograph, she captured the unique personalities of some of the worldâs most gifted authors, poets, and playwrights. She published two books of photographs during her lifetime: Manpower (1987) with text by Robin Morgan and an introduction by Harold Evans and Writers (1995) with a preface by Norman Mailer.ÂFine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Ian Cook. Faulk's first novel, A Trick of the Light, is at the same time an adventure and an examination of loyalties and allegiances both emotional and political. It is a powerful debut by a highly original young novelist.
