About this Item

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. *** Near fine in colour printed card covers. The covers are virtually unmarked and without any major creases - just light creasing to the top corners of the last few pages and to the back cover. Very light reading creases to the spine, but no reading lean. Spine tight. No tears. No rubbing. Red lettering to the spine and the front cover sharp and bright. No fading. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Paper stock tanned but much less than usual. No creases or tears. ***197mm x 126mm. 165 pages. ***A first impression of the first UK edition, preceded only by the even scarcer King Farouk paperback edition published in Dublin, Ireland - in unusually nice, collectable condition. Uncommon in this near fine condition. ***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.
