Jonathan Cape First Edition ( 'First Published in Great Britain 1981 '). Both the book and dust jacket are in very good condition. The covers of the book are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The top page edge is red. The inside covers and end papers are olive green. There is a tiny square shadow of a removed price sticker on the front inside cover. The book is solidly bound. I'm not seeing any cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. There aren't any tears. The spine is a little sun lightened. There is crinkling at the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in solid condition. There's another tiny square shadow of was likely a price sticker off the bottom edge of the front flap. The jacket is price-clipped at the bottom corner of the front flap. That's the only clip. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.…

Review
" [Roth's] narrative hand is wonderfully sure, his comic timing worthy of the Ritz Brothers.... Not since Henry MIller has anyone learned to be as funny and compassionate and brutal and plaintive in the space of a paragraph." -- "Village Voice"
" Zuckerman Unbound is masterful, sure in every touch, as clear and economical of line as a crystal vase." -- "The New York TImes Book Review"
"It was bold of Roth to write a novel about being famous...a comic stroll in a hall of mirrors." --"Newsweek"

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
