What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper

First published in 1968, this is the very scarce first edition of the novel to be published by Victor Gollancz in their iconic yellow dust wrapper. Many of Roberts's works were first published by Gollancz.

In the publisher's original dust wrapper, price unclipped.

The novel depicts a twentieth century England in which the Catholic Church still has supremacy, due to the assassination of Elizabeth I in 1588.

An additional story, "The White Boat", is present in this edition.

With marginal ink notations throughout, and the odd word underlined.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, fine. Dust wrapper lightly sunned to back strip, with handling marks to rear wrap and head of front wrap. Ripples to dust wrapper laminate to wraps. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright. With the odd ink marginal notation or ink underlining of words.

Very Good Indeed
