Description: A first UK edition of American novelist Robert Stone's 'A Hall of Mirrors' - of only a 1000 estimated to have been published. 'A Hall of Mirrors' was Stone's first novel. As written in the synopsis, "This is the story of three young Americans who arrive in a tired, littered New Orleans at the end of the Madis Gras in 1962. Rheinhardt, the disc jockey, ex-musician, broke and alcoholic, rolls in on a bus looking for a job. Geraldine, wandering daughter of West Virginia, comes by way of Texas on a banana truck, with a still raw cut down the side of her face, the parting gift of her last man. Morgain Rainey, devoutly religious son of Southern gentility, returns from South America with a confused but persistent sense of his mission towards a suffering humanity." Robert Stone (1937) is an American novelist. He won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1975 for his novel Dog Soldiers and was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and once for the PEN/Faulkner Awards. Dog Soldiers was adapted as a film, Who'll Stop the Rain in 1978 starring Nick Nolte, and Time magazine included it in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005. His best known work is characterized by action-tinged adventures, political concerns and dark humor. Many of his novels are set in unusual, exotic landscapes of raging social turbulence, such as the Vietnam War; a post-coup violent banana republic in Central America; Jim Crow-era New Orleans, and late 1990's Jerusalem. In a blue cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine. Externally, smart. Some bumping and marks to front and rear boards. Dustwrapper good with slight handling marks and tape marks to the interior. Ink inscription to front pastedown. Tape marks to front and back pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean throughout. Very Good

Price: US$217.06 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: First Printing of the First UK edition. A VG, square and reasonably tight copy. Free from owner names or library markings etc. The corners are bumped and spine tips pushed but structurally in nice shape. A couple of large spots at the fore-edge accompanied by 4 or 5 smaller ones and the block has sustained a bump at the bottom of the first 50 pages or so there is a minor crease to the bottom of the lower corners.A very acceptable copy nonetheless. The dustjacket is unclipped with a nick at the crown and at the top edge of the front flap. Small stain at that last place as well and minor browning along the top edge of the flaps. and on the inside surface of the jacket. In the accompanying image the spine of the dustjacket appears to have faded b ut that is just a trick of the light, in fact the colours are unfaded and the jacket presents well. Not a Fine copy but now a book that is hard to find in any condition.
