A propos de cet article

Some edgewear and creasing of spine and covers,as well some age toning, otherwise still a good reading copy.

Groves died in 1970, the same year the US paperback edition of Shellbreak was published, leaving behind a small but distinctive body of work spanning nearly four decades.…
