First UK edition - first impression - a Gerhard Self Mystery - translated from the German by Rebecca Morrison. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. The book would be described as near fine except for some foxing affecting the page block edges - particularly to the fore-edge (please see scans). Internally near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean with just some foxing spots to a few bottom corners. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £12.99. The dustwrapper is complete, with no discernible flaws. No creases, chips or tears. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***222mm x 144mm. 248 pages. ***'Bernhard Schlink (born 6 July 1944) is a German lawyer, academic, and novelist. He is best known for his novel "The Reader", which was first published in 1995 and became an international bestseller. He won the 2014 Park Kyong-ni Prize.' (Wiki) ***'"Self's Punishment" is a gripping detective story with real depth, and it heralds the arrival of a complex, charming and spirited hero.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A very good copy, albeit with the edge foxing, of the true first UK edition. ***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.…
