First UK edition. Hardcover. Page edges just slightly toned, otherwise fine in fine dustjacket (sterling price intact). A novel which stirred excitement, admiration and controversy when published in France. The English translation (used on both sides of the Atlantic) is by Frank Wynne. Arguably the jacket art and title of the British edition are catchier to the eye and ear than the American counterpart. Neither of the English-language first edition are common.…

Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. First English Edition Set. This is a very good set of English First editions, all in correct uniform dust jackets with bright spine color, as issued, through COMPANION Volume VI (Part 3) [at which point Heinemann ceased publishing the Official Biography]. All volumes are unprice-clipped. MAIN Volume I dust jacket is very slightly edge-chipped. The contents are fine, with faint scattered foxing to the fore-edges only.Volume II jacket has the publisher's later price sticker on the front flap, else fine.Volume III jacket is very slightly edge-chipped at the head and along the rear fold. Volume IV jacket is significantly less faded along the notoriously fade-prone spine, but has a strip of fading along the lower edge of the front face. The contents are fine, if ever so slightly toned at the prelims, with a faded topstain and some roughness to the cloth. The contents of all volumes are otherwise fine, with bright top stains.

Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. First English Edition Set. The ultimate source work about Sir Winston Churchill and the longest biography ever published (the actual Guiness record holder). Begun by Churchill's son Randolph (Volumes I and II), the eight-volume set was completed by Sir Martin Gilbert (Volumes III-VIII), whose great achievement it remains. This First English edition set, in dust jackets, is one of the more extraordinary examples of the Official Biography that we have ever encountered; signed in sequence by Randolph Churchill, Clementine Churchill and Martin Gilbert, respectively. Volumes I and II are inscribed and signed in ink on the title pages by Randolph Churchill to the Hollywood film star Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (whose bookplates appear on the front pastedowns). Volumes III-V are each signed in ink on the front free endpapers by Clementine Churchill: "Inscribed by Clementine Spencer Churchill."Volumes VI-VIII are signed in ink: "Martin Gilbert" on their title pages.The inscription in Volume I reads: "Inscribed for Douglas Fairbanks by Randolph S. Churchill, Nov. 66." The inscription in Volume II reads: "Inscribed for Douglas Williams [sic] by Randolph S. Churchill" (Randolph may well have been in his cups).The words: "April - 92 age" are jotted just above Clementine Churchill's signature in Volume IV, which dates the signature to 1977. Clementine Churchill was born on April 1, 1885 and died on December 12, 1977 at the age of 92.) Though the hand is shaky, the fact that Clementine did indeed sign volumes of the Official Biography is quite surprising. These may, in fact, be unique. All volumes are English First editions in correct dust jackets, as issued. The dust jackets for MAIN Volumes I-IV are lightly edge-worn with some chipping and shelf-wear, but they are all unfaded and unclipped,save for Volume VI, which is neatly price-clipped. The remaining MAIN Volume jackets are virtually mint and unclipped. The contents of Volumes V-VIII are mint. The contents of Volumes I-IV do exhibit varying degrees of wear and age, with some scuffing to the prelims, some fading to the topstains, a whisper of scattered foxing to the fore-edges of Volumes I and II, paper clip shadows on the signature page of Volume III, and a professionally repaired front hinge break in Volume IV. All COMPANION Volume jackets are in very good condition, with bright faces and unfaded spines; unclipped, save for Volume I Part 1, Volume III Part 2 and Volume IV Parts 1-3, which are price-clipped. Overall, this is a first class set in terms of condition and a singular rarity in terms of signatures; quite possibly beyond compare. Signed.…

First UK edition, first printing of Atomised by Michel Houellebecq, published by Heinemann, London, in 2000. A fine book free from internal inscriptions in a similarly fine unclipped wrapper. Atomised by Michel Houellebecq is a controversial and provocative novel that follows the lives of two half-brothers, Michel and Bruno, who are shaped by the cultural and sexual revolutions of the 20th century. Michel, a dispassionate molecular biologist, and Bruno, a sex-obsessed teacher, both struggle with isolation and disillusionment. The novel delves into themes of love, alienation and the decline of Western civilisation, offering a bleak yet incisive critique of modern society and human relationships.…

A first edition first printing published by Heinemann in 2000. A very good book without inscriptions with spotting to the page edges and to the endpapers. In a very good lightly spine faded dust wrapper which is unclipped. Some rubbing. Kevin Carter was a South African photojournalist and member of the 'Bang-Bang Club', a group of photographers who documented township violence during apartheid's final years. Alongside Greg Marinovich, João Silva, and Ken Oosterbroek, Carter worked in extreme danger, capturing images of conflict, brutality, and political unrest. He won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of a starving Sudanese child watched by a vulture, an image that brought global attention but also intense criticism. Haunted by trauma, guilt, and loss, Carter died by suicide later that year, aged 33.…
