1943ABE-1287801882Faber & Faber London 1943 This is a nice hardback first edition in what appears to be a second impression dustjacket Certainly there are reviews of the book reprinted on the inside front flap which makes me suspect it must be a second impression jacket. But the jacket is of course a bit of a prize in its own right. A lovely drawing by Mervyn Peake of a soldier seemingly searching into the future. The book has a dated signature and an attractive blind stamp on the front end paper. No other marks. It was a wartime economy issue so the jacket is a delicate thin paper effort and all the more valuable as most of the copies available are usually found without one.

1946ABE-2356638188Constable London 1946 The very rare War Economy jacket is safe inside its mylar sleeve now but it was already a fragile thing the day it was issued. But at least it has protected the smooth blue binding and the silver gilt spine titling. Although the binding is not faded it is a bit spotted. A small owner signature is on the FEP and it has the date '1946'. Fortunately it is neat. Text block is tanned because of the paper of course. But this is a good collectable copy of an uncommon book.

2010ABE-1717008224027Fourth Estate 2010 This is not a pristine unread copy; BUT it is a signed limited edition that escaped being pulped. One of the copies that escaped this fate! The author withdrew the copies of the very first printing because of the textual errors accidentally included. It was rumoured to be the uncorrected text that was sent out as a proof. Presumably there were a few heads that rolled at the publishers! This copy has been read and maybe placed on a sunny shelf by somebody who simply didn't care. The top and leading edges of the text block are a touch sunned and there is a bit of a lean that indicates it has been read. No names other than the author; and this is on the special tipped in limitation page. When all is said and done this is undoubtedly one of the rare copies and it is a brilliant read.

2007ABE-2045617304Rookery Overlook NEW YORK 2007 1st Edition 1st Printing of this wonderful Literary Noir which has prompted comparisons with Charlie Huston Duane Swierczynski John Ridley James Crumley and James Ellroy. But this man's voice is none of these; he is a true original. SIGNED by Christopher Goffard on the Title Page. AUTHOR'S 1ST NOVEL and a 2008 EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE for BEST FIRST NOVEL. The author is a former Times feature writer. Snitch Jacket has sentences that sing and the book had a starred review in Publishers Weekly: "In Goffard's impressive debut a darkly comic romp through the Southern California underworld Benny Bunt a 41-year-old dishwasher finds his main escape in the Greasy Tuesday a blue-collar bar in Costa Mesa. Among the recidivist misfits his is a harmless familiar face. What they don't know is that Benny is a snitch who earns pocket money by ratting out his buddies to the cops. Enter one Gus "Mad Dog" Miller a massive bearded Vietnam vet covered with prison tattoos; Gus holds court at the bar with outrageous tales of his exploits military and criminal. Gus soon becomes Benny's best friend and seeks his assistance in a contract killing. Only problem is the police "botch" their surveillance and Benny ends up taking the fall for a double homicide committed at the Howling Head festival in the Mojave desert. Goffard's prose shimmers with intelligence and humor and he has a keen ear for telling detail. Fans of such cultish neo-noir scribes such as Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski will be richly rewarded. Oct." This is a prime collectable of a writer shooting for the stars.

1971ABE-6136097848Belknap Harvard 1971 Hardcover in protected jacket. When John Millington Synge and Molly Allgood fell in love he was thirty-five. she nineteen. Their puritanical mothers did not approve so they pursued their love furtively. One thing they could do; they could write letters. He wrote hundreds of them and presumably she did too but her letters were destroyed. Tragically he had Hodgkin's disease and he died three years after they met. This book is Near Fine. It has a neat inscription on the front end paper otherwise it would be fine. No other marks no annotations and most emphatically this is not an ex library copy. Many of these first impressions ended up in libraries so first printings are fairly hard to come by. The jacket has done its job and it is now protected but there is a touch of sunning to the spine some minor chippings to the edges here and there and the price has been neatly clipped from the front flap. This is a fascinating book by the great playwright and it has been well edited by Ann Saddlemyer. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition.
