First edition. Octavo, pp 254. Dark brown cloth covered hard boards, gilt to spine, top edge stained orange, and in the original dust jacket which has been neatly price-clipped. SIGNED by the author in black pen to the title page. Amis’ second novel.


Book is in Fine condition, no flaws to note; jacket is almost Fine, corner creases on the rear flap and a 4mm tear at the top of the front panel, but most importantly there is absolutely no fading to the orange, pink and red bands on the spine. A lovely copy.
