Condition: Fine
Description: A fine UK first edition, first printing copy of a fine PDJ novel - are they ever otherwise? The book itself is fine and very smart but it does suffer from the inevitable tanning with a book of this age. It is however very smart, tight and clean. The DJ is fine too and there is very little, if any, evidence of bumping other than the top outside corners. It has not been price clipped. This book forms part of my own private modern first edition fiction collection which, following my retirement as a solicitor, is now being disposed of. This book will be very carefully packaged and be promptly dispatched following sale. Overseas buyers should please note that as the package weight is less than 75g it will be shipped abroad by economy post unless we agree an uplift in postal charge paid. In any case it would be helpful for any buyer and for me if you calculate the postage charge by reference to the British Post office postal calculator available online for second class or (if you prefer) first class delivery rates. No charge is made by me for packaging and the actual postage cost to me will apply in any sale.

Condition: Fine
Description: A fine first edition, first impression, first printing of P.D. James¿s novel The Children of Men in hardback cloth covers with a fine dust jacket, published in Great Britain by Faber and Faber in 1992. This fine book has black cloth boards, titles in white on the spine with white end papers and edges. The tight, bright book has no marks, bumps or writings over its 239 pages. The copyright page shows the number line 1 through to 10 indicating the first edition, with copyright 1992 by P.D. James and dedicated to her daughters. The edges are yellowing slightly as is to be expected. The fine dust jacket, with the price in sterling, is not price clipped and has no blemishes except on the top front corner where the flap has a small closed tear, a smaller one on the back flap and some creasing on top by the spine. The titles are in white on the cover and on the spine. The dust jacket shows an autumnal forest scene with a jagged tear to show a broken doll on paving stones. This novel set in 2021 was a new departure for P.D. James, which she executed brilliantly. Several photos of this book are available on my AbeBooks website. Clear removable archival film protects the fine dust jacket.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: 1st British Edition. xv, 517pp. Octavo. Navy cloth with gilt lettering and decoration on spine. Light wear to ends of spine. Clean, tight text block. There are a few small notes on the rear paste-down presumably from the previous owner refering to the text. In dust jacket, not price clipped, with only light wear to edges and some very mild chipping to ends of spine with one small closed tear. Placed loosely inside are two clean clipped articles relating to Hughes. A fantastic association copy. near fine Double Signed and Inscribed by the author. Signed by the author in black ink on half title and inscribed by the author in black ink on the title page. The inscription reads "For Patricia Kathleen, with my very best wishes from Ted, 12th August 1993". Edward James "Ted" Hughes (17 August 1930 ?28 October 1998) was an English poet and children's writer. Critics routinely rank him as one of the best poets of his generation. Hughes was British Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death. This critical magnus opus looks at Shakespeare's use of the two most significant poems in the archaic world and argues that they later provided the template for the construction of every one of Shakespeare's plays. The inscription is written to Patricia Kathleen Page, commonly known as P. K. Page, who was a Canadian poet. She was the author of over 30 published books: of poetry, fiction, travel diaries, essays, children's books, and an autobiography. She was also known as a visual artist, who exhibited her work as P.K. Irwin at a number of venues in and out of Canada. Her works are in permanent collections of National Gallery of Canada and Art Gallery of Ontario.
