Hardcover. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Bill Botten [Dustwrapper design] (illustrator). First Edition. First printing of the true first edition of Martin Amis' third published novel. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Top edge of text-block stained yellow by the publisher. There is some foxing to the top edge. No bumps but there is a light scratch to the front board. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Interior pages clean. With a neat ownership name to the front free endpaper. Printed on quality paper - the publisher used unusually thick paper for this book, almost as thick as that found in pre-war children's books. Spine tight. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper, designed by Bill Botten, which has not been price-clipped, and retains the original publisher's price of £3.95 net. No tears. No chips. No creasing. With some light fading to the light-sensitive red colour on the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper bright and clean. With a 'New Fiction Society' label affixed to the bottom of the spine of the dustwrapper over the Jonathan Cape logo. ***205mm x 135mm. 224 pages. ***'Timid, balding and meaningfully short, Terence Service tiptoes through the flat and life of his flamboyant foster-brother, Gregory Riding. Terry can scarcely remember the last time a girl agreed to sleep with him, although he does occasionally glimpse the stray naked bit of some visitor to Gregory's bed as he creeps through to the kitchen. Keenly aware of the time-tested theory that sexual success is the surest guarantee of sexual success, Terry longs for a start of any kind. ***In "Success" Martin Amis displays all the assured skill and irresistibly acid wit for which he was honoured with the Somerset Maugham Award in 1974.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First printing of the true first edition of the third novel by Martin Amis, in its original dustwrapper - the 'New Fiction Society' label variant - in nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
