Beschreibung

Fine first printing in near fine dustwrapper. The book is as new and unread. The dustwrapper is complete but with some very light line impressions to the front panel which have not scored the paper. These are only visible under certain light and are the result of a light object being place on the book. Signed, located and dated by the author to the title page, without further inscription: 'Sasa Stanisic Cheltenham 2.10.2015'. As a keen collector myself I make every effort to provide a high level of service. Enquiries welcomed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005440
