What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper


This is a smart first UK edition of John Hopkin's first novel The Attempt.

The novel concerns the importance of a single life set against the impersonal background of Peru. Caffery, the narrator, adventures solo through Peru and never quite feels at ease. 

In the original unclipped dustwrapper.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Light bumping to the tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound with bright clean pages. In the original unclipped dustwrapper.  Some marks to the rear wrap and some bumping to the head and tail of the spine. A small tear to the top extremity of the front wrap.

Fine
