About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1980. First edition, first printing. Published by Hamish Hamilton in London, 1980. This is a near fine copy. The fine pictorial paper covered boards are bright and clean throughout, though slightly bumped and creased at the spine tips and corners. The internals are clean throughout and free from previous owners ink. The text blocks are bright and clean. Overall, this is a near fine copy. As reviewed in the TLS, this is "the story of a lavatory attendant who wants to become a highwayman". The reviewer noted the artist's "exceptional sensitivity to the appeal of domestic architecture" and stated that Briggs had a "power to transmute the prosaically familiar into the ideal".
