Synopsis:

Hardcover in good condition, first UK edition. Jacket edges are worn, boards are slightly rubbed, spine is cocked. Page block is marked. Binding is sound and text is clean. AE

From the Inside Flap: Now in his mid-thirties, Nathan Zuckerman, a would-be recluse despite his newfound fame as a bestselling author, ventures onto the streets of Manhattan in the final year of the turbulent sixties. Not only is he assumed by his fans to be his own fictional satyr, Gilbert Carnovsky ("Hey, you do all that stuff in that book?"), but he also finds himself the target of admonishers, advisers, and sidewalk literary critics. The recent murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., lead an unsettled Zuckerman to wonder if "target" may be more than a figure of speech.
In Zuckerman Unbound--the second volume of the trilogy and epilogue "Zuckerman Bound--the notorious novelist Nathan Zuckerman retreats from his oldest friends, breaks his marriage to a virtuous woman, and damages, perhaps irreparably, his affectionate connection to his younger brother...and all because of his great good fortune!

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Jonathan Cape First Edition ( 'First Published in Great Britain 1981 '). Both the book and dust jacket are in very good condition. The covers of the book are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The top page edge is red. The inside covers and end papers are olive green. There is a tiny square shadow of a removed price sticker on the front inside cover. The book is solidly bound. I'm not seeing any cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. There aren't any tears. The spine is a little sun lightened. There is crinkling at the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in solid condition. There's another tiny square shadow of was likely a price sticker off the bottom edge of the front flap. The jacket is price-clipped at the bottom corner of the front flap. That's the only clip. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Seller Inventory # 004747
