Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Early UK edition in very good dust jacket. NOT price clipped. Mild edgewear. Tanning to spine & margins. Previous owner's name inked front free end page. Else interiors clean & without markings. Two tiny dark marks top textblock edge. This is early UK edition, but does not appear to be a First. According to 'A Pocket Guide to the Identification of First Editions', Collins should meet this criteria 'same date must appear on title page and on back of title page with no additional printings indicated'. This copy has 1967 on title page (which is the correct year for First/firsts) but on the 'back' (ie the copyright page) this is all that is said: 'Copyright by William H. Gass, 1966; printed in Great Britian by; J. Horn Ltd., Glasgow'. That all makes sense because this title was issued in US by New American Library in 1966. This might be a first UK, but I do not know enough to be certain. I know it is a very early UK printing, if not a first. And it is in very good overall condition.

First UK edition. 304 pp. Fine in very near fine dust jacket. His first book, a novel, the manuscript of which was stolen after four years of work, prompting a complete rewrite from scratch.
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Flat signed by William H. Gass on title page. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small stain to edge. 304 p., 20 cm. "William H. Gass (1924-2017) was a proudly postmodern author who valued form and language more than literary conventions like plot and character and who had a broad influence on other experimental writers of the 1960s, '70s and beyond. Since his first novel, Omensetter's Luck was published in 1966, Mr. Gass was one of the most respected authors never to write a best seller. (He wrote only two other novels but many novellas, short stories and essays.) He received a raft of awards, including two National Book Critics Circle Awards for collections of criticism and philosophy: Habitations of the Word in 1985 and Finding a Form in 1997. He won four Pushcart Prizes, the Pen-Faulkner Prize and a $100,000 lifetime achievement award from the Lannan Foundation in 1997. The novelist John Barth, a fellow practitioner of metafiction, predicted that Mr. Gass would someday rank high in the history of American arts and letters. 'If he doesn't,' Mr. Barth said in 1999, 'it will be history's fault.' His masterwork was The Tunnel (1995), a 652-page novel in which the main character, the lonely, miserable and unlikable William Frederick Kohler, a middle-aged history professor at a Midwestern university, retreats to his basement, where he begins, little by little, to tunnel his way out, metaphorically trying to escape from a loveless marriage and a painfully unhappy life."
