About This Item
Everyman's Library London, 2011 These superb and elegantly designed books were relaunched in 1991, to great praise. A. S. Byatt said They are so beautifully produced. They are a form of civilization. John Updike wrote, They are the edition of record. They are, unsurprisingly, being collected, and the first printings especially. This is one of them. It has a unique an introduction by Pico Iyer. There is a fascinating chronology, a bibliography, and an elegant setting, as befits one of the 20th Century's masterworks. A silk marker is bound in and the red cloth binding has a black panel on the spine with the title in gilt. This copy has a mylar sleeved jacket, which is unclipped. An unread looking book.
