First edition, first printing. SIGNED to title-page. However, this particular copy is also DATED by Barnes on PUBLICATION DAY itself - "5 Nov 92." As such, it represents an unusually appealing copy of the author's sharp, satirical novella, and one substantially elevated in terms of rarity merit. Fine in Fine dust-wrapper. A good example, then, of a relatively "easy" signed 1st lifted far higher in its collectable appeal by this apt addition. Barnes' novel, as The New York Times pointed out in its review, "in some ways, brings to mind the political literature of 50 years ago: Andre Malraux, George Orwell and particularly the Arthur Koestler of 'Darkness at Noon.'" It remains a popular title of his. Offered by D B WATERS RARE BOOKS: Professional, full-time booksellers of fine, select 1st editions, established in 1998. As befits a rare book, all dust-wrappers are housed within transparent, removable protectors. All our stock is fully guaranteed as authentic, a sample of which is presented here on this website.
