About this Item

A first edition, first printing of 'Trainspotting', published by Secker and Warburg in 1993. A near fine book without inscriptions. Clean pages. Some wear to the corners and edges. Spine has a little marking - spotting to the bottom edge. With the French flaps. 1/1000 copies printed. SIGNED at an event in Henley-on-Thames by Welsh on the half-title page 'Choose Life!/Irvine Welsh'. Excessively scarce signed in this way. "Trainspotting" is known for its raw and unfiltered depiction of addiction and its consequences. It explores themes of alienation, despair, and the cyclical nature of addiction. The title itself, refers to the hobby of watching trains, but it also metaphorically suggests the characters' addiction to the highs and lows of their lives. The novel has been adapted into a successful film directed by Danny Boyle in 1996, which further popularised the story and its characters.
