Faber and Faber, 2002 Why does this publisher use cheap pulp paper!!! This is a hardback first edition that should have been printed using acid proof paper. All copies of this fascinating collection, by one of the 20th Century's finest writers, will be 'embrowned' because of the publisher's lack of respect. Anyway, what we have here is the fictional outpourings of Larkin, edited brilliantly by James Booth. Needless to say, any collector of Larkin will be thrilled with this, despite the cheap pulp paper. The spine of the protected jacket is slightly sunned, as with most copies, but there are no flaws. Other than the paper!. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.
