True first British printing with original unclipped jacket (�2.00). Jacket has faults - namely patchy edge/shelf wear, a few very small (approx. 3mms) tears, the odd crease/rub to edges, a little pushing/rubbing to head/tail of spine, few small marks, little pushing/bumping to corners (which has resulted in tiny loss), a little patchy creasing/rubbing to front/back inner flaps and is in only good condition. Boards are near fine (having been well protected by the jacket) with a hint of pushing to corners and minor pushing/rubbing to head/tail of spine. Pages are generally clean and the binding is tight. Pages little tanned. Previous owner's name in pen to front end-paper. Odd small mark/scratch to page edges, tops and bottoms. Very occasional small mark to pages. No other faults. All books described honestly and accurately. Paypal accepted.

About this title

Synopsis

Alan Sillitoe is best known for THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER. In RAW MATERIAL we meet Sillitoe's impoverished Midlands forebearers and learn why Sillitoe believes family relationships are the basis of all security, love and perhaps all truth. For him, these relationships are the artistic "raw material" of his work; thus the family becomes not only the edifice of his life, but also grist for his mill.
