Scarce AUTOGRAPHED & UNREAD Softcover Original. Signed - not inscribed - by the author on the bound-in full title page. 1st Edition/1st Printing. Written by the bestselling author of Lost (her acclaimed debut) and The Secret Life of France. This book offers an autobiographical tale of bohemians, punk, the King's Road, of London in the 1970's and family. It is part of a series of twelve books tied to the twelve lines of the London Underground. Simply pristine, from my personal smoke-free collection. Seller is the original and only owner of this book. Not a remainder or EX-LIB. A GIFT QUALITY COPY. You'll not likely find a finer copy! Delivered to you in a box, never in an envelope. In fact, the buyer will receive a personal note sent to the buyer and a photocopy of the box in which the author sent this autographed book to the seller.

Also available in a boxset
'A rich, vital family saga, and a feat of narrative compression' The Times
'Authors include the masterly John Lanchester, the children of Kids Company, comic John O'Farrell and social geographer Danny Dorling. Ranging from the polemical to the fantastical, the personal to the societal, they offer something for every taste. All experience the city as a cultural phenomenon and notice its nature and its people. Read individually they're delightful small reads, pulled together they offer a particular portrait of a global city' Evening Standard
'Exquisitely diverse' The Times
'Eclectic and broad-minded ... beautifully designed' Tom Cox, Observer
'A fascinating collection with a wide range of styles and themes. The design qualities are excellent, as you might expect from Penguin with a consistent look and feel while allowing distinctive covers for each book. This is a very pleasing set of books' A Common Reader blog
'The contrasts and transitions between books are as stirring as the books themselves ... A multidimensional literary jigsaw' Londonist
'A series of short, sharp, city-based vignettes - some personal, some political and some pictorial ... each inimitable author finds that our city is complicated but ultimately connected, full of wit, and just the right amount of grit' Fabric Magazine
'A collection of beautiful books' Grazia
[Praise for Lucy Wadham]:
'Penetrating insight and dry observation' Independent
'Beautifully clever and intellectually challenging' Good Housekeeping
'Effortless wit and keen intelligence' New Statesman
