About this Item

Graham Swift's second novel published by Allen Lane in 1981. 1st Edition, 1st impression, signed by the author to the title page. Near fine throughout. Page block is clean, though a little foxing to the top edge. Boards clean and square, corners sharp, base of spine shows a little bumping. Dustjacket in protective sleeve unclipped, top left corner of the spine, there is a defect, a couple of mm, not a tear but the green surface has come away leaving a tan underside. Overall an excellent copy of this 41 year old novel. Happy to answer queries, share more information/phots, etc.
