About This Item
London: Faber and Faber , 2009. First edition. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 9" by 6" . None . A lovely first impression of this crime fiction by David Peace, flat signed by the author to the title page. An exquisitely dark novel based on the Hirasawa Sadamichi case in 1948 Tokyo, told in a Rashomon-like style. A sensational story based on the real mass-poisoning of Tokyo linked to Japanese tempera painter Sadmichi Hirawasa. The man was sentenced to death, although it was general belief that he had been falsely accused. The first edition, first impression of this work, written by David Peace. Signed by the author to the title page. In the original publisher's paper wraps. Externally excellent with only minor shelf wear and minor offsetting to the front wrap due to removal of a sticker. Signed by the author to the title page. Internally, firmly bound. Only minor faint odd spotting to the odd leaf, otherwise the pages are generally bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed
