Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. SIGNED on the title page, no dedication, no owner signature, just a signed by the author softback original. Text block paper is tanning, which is naughty of the publisher ; here is a great book, by a renowned writer, and Faber choose to print it on cheap pulp. Apart from this foolish decision this is a nicely designed production. The full colour cover is a French flap structure that has a beautiful monochrome photograph underneath it. So, a high standard of design and typography, but they print it on rubbish paper! Cannot understand why. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. SIGNED & DATED on the 8th April, in London. A first novel of huge quality, with great praise from Justin Cartwright and others. This meant that first printings rapidly disappeared and this superbly written novel went into several hardback printings. THIS IS A FIRST PRINTING, NOW RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER in this pristine state. The author has signed the book on the title page. Worthy of a prize or two, anyone reading this must end it hoping the author will be getting his next work ready. It has a sinuous and elegant prose style, and the characters involve the reader at several levels. Very hard to find in an unread signed first, this has been carefully stored and the perfect new jacket is sleeved in mylar. One of the finest first novels of the last few years, I look forward to the author's next work. PUBLISHER RELEASE: "Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful business career, considerable wealth, and a reputation for being a just and principled man. But public virtues can conceal private failings, and as Hen! ry faces retirement, his well-ordered life begins to unravel. On the eve of the new millennium he is the victim of a random act of violence which soon escalates into a prolonged persecution, with tragic consequences. Family secrets are revealed, and when his ex-wife Nessa summons Henry to Palm Beach, he realises that there is little time to redress the mistakes of the past. The Upright Piano Player explores with a tender, yet unflinching eye the small but devastating flaws in human nature that can shape our destinies."

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. FIRST PRINTING, FIRST EDITION of the hardback issue, in a complete jacket. A rare poem by Ursula K. Le Guin at the front and a biographical essay by Raphael Shevelev at the back. A generous collection of superb photographs forms the bulk of the contents, with some commentary by the photographer. This is a tight hard cover binding but with two bruised corners. The text block is tight with clean pages, although there is some slight tanning to the paper stock, common to all issues. A touch of shelf wear to the unclipped dustjacket, which is now protected. There is a small random red stain to the top of the text block. No former owner inscriptions, and certainly not an ex-library copy, although many of the first editions did indeed end up in institutions. Aperture have always treated the reproduction of the pictures with great care, and have always used an exceptionally smooth paper for their books. This is a classic example of a highly collectable photography book that has been well looked after but obviously has been looked at and admired, as well it might.
