About This Item
Doubleday London, 2000 Possibly a unique copy because it has been signed by the author using her English name, 'Laura Bear' rather than her married name. She has signed this copy emphatically across the title page in black ink, and the writing of this fine book is as emphatic - and empathetic. A wonderful portrait of a modern and changing India. That country is taking its place on the world stage with growing confidence, and this book evokes all its subtle effulgences. Superb and utterly collectable, especially in this unusually signed state. No flaws, jacket protected and unclipped, and the book has no damaged corners. The gilt titling is bright. The text block is tight and looks to be unread. A perfect copy of a stunningly original and evocative work. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
