About This Item
Australia: Allen Lane Penguin, 1983 This is the first Allen Lane (Penguin Group) 1983 edition of the original 1981 printing. This special edition has an added afterward by Jan Carter and endpapers depicting family photographs of the author. Navy boards with silver lettering in slipcase. Appears unread, crisp and clean, giftable/collectible copy. There is some light general wear to slipcase exterior and it is possible that the book spine and matching slipcase ends have faded slightly. On the back board is a small white spot (undyed thread in the cloth?) which appears to be a production flaw and there is very slight wear to boards in general. Binding and corners intact. A special copy of a special and very Australian book.

I search out used books on principle to highlight their value, keep them circulating and out of the landfill (and just because I am compelled to tell people to "read this"!)
