Top edge very slightly marked, fore-edge a little spotted and thumbed, dustwrapper (by Tom Adams) slightly frayed at head and tail of spine, and with very mild wear at corners, front flap a little marked. First UK edition (first published by Little, Brown 1965 [but January 1966]), inscribed by the author on the title-page, with no signature, "Reg Gadney with sincerest good wishes Lyme Regis Sunday, 14.3.99". "Even so powerful a novel as The Collector does not prepare us for the manifold, compulsive fascination of John Fowles's The Magus . . ." (publisher's blurb). For some readers, it is Fowles's best book. For Fowles himself, it was "the first one I wrote [and] still, I think, excites me more than the others. It still slightly puzzles me how I could have written it." He issued a revised version in 1977. Reg Gadney, himself a novelist, was the second husband of Fay Maschler, first wife of John Fowles's editor at Cape, Tom Maschler. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5eB100041
