Item description from seller

First impression of the true first edition, with the full number-string sequence including the no "1": 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 on the printer's page. The dustwrapper shows the oil painting 'Poeta Rimasto Sneza Parole' by Massimo Rao. ***Near fine in burgundy cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked, with no discernible faults. No bumps, creases or tears. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine, with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Pages clean. ***In a near fine pictorial dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £14.99. The dustwrapper also has no discernible faults. No creases, chips or tears, and the spine of dustwrapper is unfaded (uncommon with this title). ***215 pages. 242mm x 162mm. ***'"Art & Lies" is a rich book, bawdy and beautiful, shocking because of its beauty, an antidote against the numbness of modern life. "Art & Lies" is a dangerous book, banked with ideas forced out of the words themselves, not words for things, but words that are living things with the power to move.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***The reader must patch the plot together by picking out clues that are embedded, unchronologically, in what might be called a tapestry of words --- except that a tapestry presents a static picture, and what Winterson has created here has the quality of movement, more like the play of a great many shifting, shimmering lights. ***At once playful and deeply serious, Winterson conjures up her alternate world with language that is bold and strange and often dazzlingly beautiful. (Quote - Jeanne DuPrau, San Francisco Chronicle) ***First impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in beautiful, collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
