Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. RARE SIGNED FIRST EDITION. Possibly the only signed copy on the internet and most certainly UNIQUE with these enclosures. The author has written on the inside front endpaper: 'To Peter Kettle, from the new proprietor of The Delaminating Swan - Clive James.' Enclosed with this is a fine reproduction of the painting mentioned, which CJ had bought at the artist's London one man show. This is signed by the artist on the back of the card, Peter Kettle. Another enclosure is a hand written letter about The Remake from Clive James, in which he mentions the novel as 'My favourite among my own books'. This is also signed, on BBC notepaper. Unclipped jacket is protected.This really is a unique group of items. I am reluctant to sell it which is why the price is high. Language: eng. Signed by Author.
