Libro Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Jacket design by Ron Bowen (illustratore). "First published 1978 / Reprinted 1979." Thus, the second printing. The DJ front flap is price-clipped, but a price tag has been affixed near clipped area, reading "Cape / Net U.K. Only / L8.95," indicating the clipping may have been done by the publisher. Book will close its own text block and boards and would thus generally grade "fine," but we downgrade to "near fine" because a) book smells a tad musty to us -- not uncommon with books from the misty isles reaching us here in the desert, and b) the boards want to stand open by perhaps an extra 1/8th-inch -- not a big deal, but mentioned here for completeness. Inscribed & signed (full name) by author to title page. Celebrated third book (but first novel) by McEwan, a dark tale of a family of children who keep secret the death of their second parent so as not to be separated & remanded into foster care. 138 pp. The 1993 film starred Charlotte Gainsbourg, Andrew Robinson, and Alice Coulthard. (Yes, all white people.) Reduced from $250. Inscribed by Author(s).

Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. First Impression of McEwan's first novel (preceded by two short story collections: First Love, Last Rites and In Between the Sheets). 8vo: 138pp. Publisher's forest green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, grey end papers, illustrated dust jacket priced £3.50. Signed by the author without inscription on the title page. A superlative copy (apparently unread), virtually pristine. Filmed by Andrew Birkin in 1993, with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Andrew Robertson. The story "concerns a family of abandoned children coming to terms with life without their parents. It is about their simultaneous growth into adults and regression as children . . . [and] brings to mind many other novels concerned with children isolated from adults, most notably The Lord of the Flies. But where Golding's children run wild, and the reader is reminded of how the adult world provides checks on their natural aggression, McEwan's grow closer, and the reader is reminded of how the adult world provides checks on their natural sexuality." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
