    Description

    First Edition, With Dustwrapper

    First edition.

    In a hardback binding, with the original dust wrapper adhered to boards.

    This intriguing work is one of Evelyn Waugh's post-war novels, in which he shows contempt for the concept of a 'welfare state'. In this satire set in a dystopian Britain, the protagonist falls in love whilst working in a state-run euthanasia centre.

    With charming illustrations throughout, some of which are by the author.

    Condition

    In a hardback binding, with the original dust wrapper adhered to boards. Externally, sound, with wrap lifting slightly. Light chipping, with tape adhered to the wrap extremities and spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Small closed tear with tape repair to title page.

    Good
