8vo. First UK edition, first impression. First published in Italy in 1982. Original red cloth, silvergilt. Jacket by Slatter-Anderson. The head of the spine is slightly bumped. Signed in black ink on the title page by Primo Levi. Paper browned as usual due to cheap stock. Unclipped d/w also slightly bruised towards the head of t…he spine. Near fine in near fine d/w. 'Based on a true story, If Not Now, When? chronicles the adventures, crises and inner transformations of a band of Jewish partisans - Russian and Polish refugees from Nazi terror - as, stranded in occupied territory, they offer what resistance they can to the German army.' The book was inspired by a group of Zionists he met when they hitched a ride on the train returning him to Italy after liberation from Auschwitz. Signed copies of the English edition of Primo Levi's novel are very uncommon. He died in 1987.
