First edition, first printing. [iv], 258 pp. Bound in publisher's original black cloth-affect boards with spine lettered in gilt. Very Good+, presents well, with former owner's name on paste down and front free endpaper, faint pink mark to bottom edge, front hinge overopened, light occasional foxing along margins, in a Very Good price-clipped dust jacket with no fading, a little wrinkling to rear panel, foxing to verso; tiny tape mends to verso at tips and a single piece of tape extends to the recto along to the top edge of the back panel. Nice shape overall. Plath's semi-autobiographical novel, published in the UK under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas eight years before its first American appearance. Plath committed suicide less a month after its initial publication, cementing the book's reputation as a tragically unheeded cry for help. It is now perhaps the single most iconic female coming-of-age story.
