Add to basketFirst UK edition - first impression. ***Very good in dark blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp - just very slight creasing to the top corner of the back board. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges lightly foxed. Internally also very good with no ownership inscriptions. No creases or tears. No foxing. Pages clean, just tanned due to the cheap paper stock used by the publisher. Small production fault to the top corner of the front pastedown where the paper has been folded over. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.95 net (which has been crossed out with red ink). The dustwrapper is complete - just slight rubbing to the extremities. No creases, chips or tears. No fading. Slight browning to the white spine. ***234mm x 164mm. 246 pages.***'It began in a small Connecticut town. It began with a traffic accident that could not possibly have happened. Or perhaps it began with the discovery of a painting that had been lost for three centuries - yet it was clearly less than twenty years old. Or perhaps it began three hundred years ago, in another place, in a time of madness, in an orgy of rape and carnage. God alone knew where it would end. God, and perhaps one other. For the hand that moved the strange destinies of Robert Garrick and his young daughter, and the spirit that cast its deepening shadow over the little town of Martinsburg, was not that of the Creator. TRANSLATION is a novel unlike any you have read before. You will not easily forget it.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First UK edition, first impression - in very good condition. Uncommon. ***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.
