Description: HARDBACK - A very good book bound in the publisher's cloth boards with gilt lettering present to the spine. There is a hint of fading to the extremities on the front and rear boards, with a little pushing to the spine tips. Internally the page blocks and inner text are free of foxing, but has the usual toning associated with New English Library books of this period. Free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. The dust wrapper is also in very good condition with no fading to the spine. There are three closed tears to the front panel, with a single closed tear to the bottom corner of the rear flap. There are tiny losses to the spine tips, with some rubbing to the wrapper's extremities. The publisher's printed price of £ 2.50 is present to the front flap. An exceedingly scarce book to acquire, with most copies purchased for the library system.

Description: First English edition, first impression published by New English Library in 1974. Featuring the beautiful dust jacket artwork by Ray Feibush. The first US edition was published in April 1974 with a print run of 30,000 copies. The print run of the English edition, published the following month in May 1974, consisted of only 600 to 1000. A number of these were given to libraries, making copies in good condition very scarce indeed. Original purple cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and gilt motif to upper board. Some toning and spotting to edges with a little isolated rubbing to edges of boards in places, but very good indeed otherwise and free from names and inscriptions. The original and unclipped dust jacket has a little of the often-encountered fading to the spine panel with a couple of shallow chips to edges; isolated instances of rubbing; closed tear to top corner of upper panel with associated and inconspicuous tape repair to verso and a crease to bottom corner of lower flap, otherwise very good and bearing the correct £2.50 issue price. An extremely rare and desirable edition of the author s first published novel.
