About This Item
Little, Brown, London, 1st Edition,1st Printing 2021 SIGNED with a Sharpie by Val McDermid on title page. Hardcover with dust jacket, 418 numbered pages, 24 x 16 cm, black-papered boards with white lettering on spine, dockland scene on endpapers, repeated on jacket. NEW book (unread). Condition is Fine in Fine, a bright copy with minimal edge wear to jacket. Packed securely in a sturdy (200# burst test) box. The First Allie Burns Thriller from the celebrated and best-selling Scottish crime writer. The year 1979 marked, of course, the end of the 1970s and the beginnings of the 1980s, but decades tend to bleed into each other; definite ends are only a calendar device. And each decade is rife with problems, from political to culture upheavals — all of which play major parts in Val McDermid's masterful "1979."

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
