The proof copy of Life & Times of Michael K, signed by J M Coetzee and issued before publication. The only copy we have ever come across. Housed in a custom-made slip case and with a letter of provenance from the publisher. Unbound pages as issued. The pages are crisp and clean. The jacket, added as an afterthought, shows wear. A rare find.
