What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed
Signed dedication from the author to the front free endpaper.
First edition, first impression.
In the publisher's original cloth binding.
This enlightening work centres around the relationship between author and reader, emphasising the act as a creative and collaborative experience. With discussions of writing in disguise, self-seeking in fiction, and the cult of ambiguity.
From Holbrook Jackson, a British journalist, writer and publisher who is recognised as one of the leading bibliophiles of his time.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart, with a damp stain to the rear board. Fading to the spine and to the front board slightly. Newspaper clipping of the author's obituary tipped-in to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with the author's inscription to the front free endpaper and the odd spot.
Very Good
