Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

First impression of the first UK paperback edition of this collection, with the number line 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the printer's page. The book was first published the previous year as a hardback by Harvill Press, and preceded the first American publication which was a paperback original. Edited by William L. Stull, with a Foreword by Tess Gallagher. ***Very good in glossy illustrated card covers. Indentation crease to the front cover affecting the first couple of pages. Indentation mark to the back cover. Corners of covers slightly rubbed and creased. Small crease and tear to the top of the spine. Edges of covers slightly rubbed and creased but no reading creases to the spine. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. No foxing to the pages. Pages clean and bright. Top corners of the first few pages slightly creased. No tears. Spine tight. ***239 pages. 216mm x 135mm. ***Contents - Early Stories: Furious Seasons, The Hair, The Aficionados, Poseidon and Company, Bright Red Apples, Fragment of a Novel: From The Augustine Notebooks, Poems, Occasions, Introductions, Book Reviews, An Essay and a Meditation, Notes. ***'By the time of his tragically early death, Raymond Carver was acknowledged as one of the most original writers in the English language of his generation. "No Heroics, Please," edited by William Stull, and with a Foreword by Tess Gallagher, brings together in one volume his uncollected writings. It includes Carver's first published story and other pieces from the 1971 collection "Furious Seasons"; a fragment of a novel; a substantial number of poems; short pieces on the circumstances in which certain poems and stories were written; essays on the American short story; reviews of works by his contemporaries, including Donald Barthelme, Richard Brautigan, Richard Ford, Jim Harrison and Thomas McGuane; and the two last prose pieces he wrote, and essay on "Friendship" and a "Meditation on a line from Saint Teresa"'. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***A first impression of the first UK paperback edition, published as a paperback original (preceded by a hardcover issue the previous year). A very nice reading copy of this Raymond Carver collection. Quite uncommon in this edition. ***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.
