Add to basketPublication: London, Phoenix House, 1998 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [Unknown]. Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding remains remarkably tight, square, and free from any discernible spine lean, bound in a smart navy blue cloth that exhibits only the faintest, negligible rubbing to the rear board. The silver-gilt spine lettering remains bright and unoxidised. Internally, the text block is exceptionally fresh; the edges are clean and the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing, toning, or previous ownership inscriptions. The original, unclipped dust jacket is in equally well-preserved condition, showing vibrant, un-sunned colours and maintaining sharp edges with only trivial shelf-wear to the extremities. Catalogue Note: A true first edition, first printing of Alan Spence's critically acclaimed second novel. The copyright page affirms this first publication by Phoenix House in 1998, with no subsequent printings noted. The volume is unillustrated and lacks any prior ownership signatures, bookplates, or binders' stamps, presenting as a beautifully clean, standard copy. While not a scarce title on the open market, it is increasingly uncommon to find copies of this modern first edition in such a well-preserved, seemingly unread state. A comic and deeply poignant exploration of life, death, and spirituality in modern Scotland. Way to Go follows the journey of Neil, who is drawn into the family undertaking business after his father dies. Amidst the solemnity of funerals, Neil's unconventional approach and his relationship with his wife Lila take an altogether different turn, bringing an unexpected and life-affirming humour to the profound, unanswerable questions of grief.
