About this Item

First and only printing of the true first edition - published in Cambridge in 1981. ***Near fine in colour illustrated card covers. The covers are nice and clean with just light browning at the edges. No obvious faults - just very light rubbing at the edges and a light crease at the bottom corner of the front cover. No reading lean to the binding and just the slightest vertical reading crease to the spine. Spine tight. Page block edges quite clean - just some foxing and browning to the top edge. Covers bright. The spine, unusually, remains completely unfaded. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions or annotations. None of the usual internal foxing. Pages clean. No creases or tears. ***295 pages, including adverts and notes on contributors, and one unnumbered page advert for Heffers Bookshop, Cambridge at the back of the book. 208mm x 144mm. ***A very hard to find first printing of this early issue Granta - whilst not as scarce as the first three issues, Granta 4 is becoming very uncommon now, especially in such well-preserved 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. Seller Inventory # 2896x
