8vo - 21.5 x 13.5 cm.; 108 - [4] pp. Black cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spine. First edition as per the copyright page and the author's published second novel. Signed by the author on the title page. The book shows some minor wear to the spine tips and there is a very small whitish spot on the tail edge of the front board, otherwise the book is clean and tight. The clipped dust jacket is quite worn on the head edge with chips, nicks, creases and closed tears and less so on the tail edge. Mild and general scuffing present. Actually, it looks quite decent in the now fitted archival cover.; Signed by Author
