Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket, as Issued. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition, with the full number-string sequence on the printer's page: 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. Translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin. Published in the UK as a large-format paperback original (PBO). ***Very good in illustrated card covers with integral French flaps, priced at £12.00 on the front flap. The covers are unmarked, and largely uncreased, with just some creasing to the covers at the edges, and at the corner tips slightly. Very light vertical reading creases to the spine, which is also slightly curved from reading. Colour unfaded on the spine. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages clean and bright. Virtually no creasing and no tears to the pages. ***609 pages including a page of notes on Works Consulted at the back of the book. 235mm x 155mm. ***'This is the most provocative novel from Japan for a generation. Haruki Murakami belongs to that small band of novelists able to confront the full complexity of twentieth-century life and the violence that nestles at its heart, and to make something out of it that is both original and compelling. Combining elements of the detective story, war reportage, metaphysical investigation, and shot through with quirky humour, "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" is a necessary epic for our times.' (Quote taken from the front flap) ***'A giant, metaphysical detective story about love, pain, war, reality and history --- magnificent --- Murakami flouts so many conventions that he forces you to change your expectations.' - Jeff Giles, Newsweek (Review quote taken from back cover) ***First impression of the first UK edition, published as a paperback original. A monolithic 600 page paperback, quite hard to find now in first edition, and very prone to bumps and creasing, so hard to find now in collectable condition. A very good copy. ***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 9018
