Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Slight foxing on endpapers, modest wear on the boards, and faint spotting on the topedge, overall very good in very good spine-sunned dustjacket. This copy with a lengthy four-page Inscription by the author about the circumstances surrounding the publication of this title, that begins: "This novel was written under trying circumstances of personal tragedy. I advise the interested reader to read the book, and the review of it in The Book Review of the New York Sunday Times." The inscription covers the front pastedown, both sides of the front fly, and the half-title. While Farrell's penmanship tends towards the scrawly, his recitation of the genesis of the novel's birth and publication is readable with only modest effort. A remarkable insight into the novel. The second book of the Bernard Clare trilogy.
