Chapman & Hall, London 1962 and 1965. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition.

Top edges lightly spotted and dust soiled, else lovely crisp copies in non-price-clipped dust wrappers, the first designed by Andy Warhol (his last wrapper design - pop super-stardom was just around the corner), a little tanned, soiled and chafed at extremities with two or three tiny portions of loss to the spine ends and two or three small areas of staining; the second wrapper, designed by William Belcher, is very lightly dust marked in several places. Very good copies of the author's uncommon satirical novels, equally loved and loathed upon publication (Richard Aldington and Nancy Mitford being amongst those who got the joke)..

Small dealer plate to the front pastedown, obscured by the wrapper flap. The author's third novel; an existential classic..
