Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First edition thus, in a crisp first impression of this great thriller, by the undeservedly neglected James Curtis. This intensely vernacular novel deserves to be up there with those of his contemporaries Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood. Curtis, like so many with his middle-class upbringing, embraced leftist politics in the 30s and he began writing novels about criminals, prostitutes, and boxers, almost as an attempt to understand or justify the underworld of crime. After the 1930s when he was as successful as his contemporaries he disappeared, and today he is one of literature's neglected but very worthwhile authors. These novels are hugely expensive in their original first editions, and this attractive new issue is a welcome chance to read this man again. Additionally, this has a superb introduction from Jonathan Meades that places this superb novel in context. Protected jacket, unread looking book, utterly collectable if you can't afford the 1930s original!.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As New/No Jacket as Issued. First Edition, First Impression. It got close to winning the Booker Prize, but perhaps the most remarkable fact is how it got published at all. It was rejected by many before this small press decided to go with it, and the book became an instant hit when it got through to the long list and then the short list for the Booker. This will always be the first edition of her first book of course, and it happened to be a very small one, about 2,500 copies. 0.0 0.0 0.0.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Booker Winner! And deservedly so. Great copy of a SIGNED true First edition that is now hard to find in such clean condition. Hardback first, in what looks like an unread condition, clean and tight in an unclipped jacket which is protected in mylar. The cost cutting publisher is to be criticized for using such cheap paper though. It is already slightly yellowing. No marks, no bent corners, no owner names; this is a brilliant copy. 0.0 0.0 0.0.
