Item description from seller

243 pages inc index, navy blue cloth has a little dust line to top edge under the wrapper, a small neat inscription also just seen under front flap "John J Gibson" who was himself an art lecturer at the Courtauld Institute in London in the 1980's-90's., he has naughtily added 4 small neat margin observation on the text notes, which add insight rather than being detrimental. (the sellers own opinion). Octavo 1992. Near fine to handle and view. Marred by a tiny lack of foresight. *A critical examination of modern literature and its "abject hero". Monsters and malcontents, Manson and mayhem. It examines & questions our emotional identifications as readers.

Store description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
