About This Item
London: Gollancz, 1955. 8vo, pp. 254. Original red boards, lettered in gilt to spine. A little spotting to top edge of text block, but a near fine copy in a better than very good dustwrapper, slightly darkened, some faint spotting to spine and just a little wear to the spine head. First edition of the author's second novel. Amis père is currently out of literary favour -- which makes now a good time to gather him up, since he is far too important a figure and far too good a writer to be forgotten permanently. A superior copy of an early title.
