First impression of the true first UK edition of the author's first novel - published in the UK as a paperback original (PBO). The book was originally published in Ireland, also as a PBO, by King Farouk in 1987. ***A very good copy in colour-illustrated printed card covers. The covers are generally clean, but do have some light creases and indentations, and are a little rubbed at the edges. No reading lean to the binding and no reading creases to the spine. Spine tight. No fading, including the red lettering to the spine, which is hardly faded at all. Top edge of page block slightly marked. No major creases and no tears. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions. Please note that the indentations have come through to affect the first few pages only (please see scans). No tears. Paper stock tanned as usual. ***197mm x 126mm. 165 pages. ***A first impression of the first UK edition, published as a paperback original, and which is quite scarce now - preceded only by the even scarcer King Farouk paperback first edition published in Dublin, Ireland. A very good example, albeit with the above-mentioned creasing. ***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.…
