Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Craig Dodd (Jacket design) (illustrator). First Edition. First impression of the true first edition, and in the first state - with the original publisher's printed price of £4.95 present. The author's first book, which won the 1981 Somerset Maugham Award. Jacket design by Craig Dodd. ***Near fine in light grey cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The silver is still nice and bright. Boards clean and unmarked. No bumps. Head and tail of spine just slightly creased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges slightly marked. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Pages clean. Spine tight. ***In a near fine typographic dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's price of £4.95 net - uncommon thus as most copies were clipped by the publisher and repriced at either £6.50 or £7.95. Unclipped copies are quite scarce. The dustwrapper is complete with hardly any wear. Just very light rubbing at the edges. There is also a light crease to the top corner of the front flap. Dustwrapper bright. ***205mm x 130mm. 176 pages. ***'Christopher and Toni found in each other the perfect companion for that universal adolescent pastime: smirking at the world as you find it. They cast a cynical eye over the various classes of fool: parents with their lives of spotless emptiness, Third Division (North) football teams, God, prefects and girls. ***From a marvellous, irrepressible vision of youth in "Metroland" (that strip of suburban dormitory served by the Metropolitan Line), Julian Barnes goes on to trace what adulthood holds in store. We see how Christopher arrives in Paris in time for les evenements of 1968, only to miss the whole thing; we see where sex leads, and watch the puzzled search for Moral Decisions; finally, we follow Toni's reactions as Christopher submits, not unironically, to the onset of happiness. It is an ingeniously wrought first novel - one to make us stop, puzzle, laugh and reconsider the state of being grown up.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A lovely copy of the first printing of the first published book by the Booker Prize-winning author Julian Barnes. The book won the 1981 Somerset Maugham Award. First impressions in unclipped dustwrappers are now hard to come by. A very nice copy for the collector. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7798x
