Beschreibung

Direct from Michael Gilbert's private library in Kent comes this scarce first edition of The Doors Open. The author's personal in which he has written "copy amended for misprints", it bears his distinctive green & white library label adhered to the front pastedown.There are several pages which contain Michael Gilbert's corrections in blue ink.For example, page 10, line 2 contains "Incorporated Accountants" which the author has corrected as "Chartered Accountants". I imagine that subsequent printings of this book will contain these alterations. Acquired directly from the Gilbert Family after the author's death in 2006. Top edges rather dusty, fore edges and several pages of text spotted. Blue cloth marked in several places. The startling Bip Pares dustwrapper is chipped at the foot of the spine and 1" loss at the head, taking "THE" and the second "O" from the title. Notwithstanding this, what we have here is the author's own working copy of his third novel with his corrections. It's a valuable and a unique rarity and certain to be of interest to Michael Gilbert collectors. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 004048
