A propos de cet article

First printing of the true first edition of Martin Amis' second published novel. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. Boards clean and unmarked. Top edge of text-block stained orange-red by the publisher - slightly faded and marked. Head and tail of spine uncreased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine, with neat ownership initials and purchase date (1975) in pencil on the front pastedown - hidden by the dustwrapper flap. No other inscriptions or annotations. Pages clean. No foxing. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine printed dustwrapper, with a striking 70s design by Craig Dodd. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £3.25 net (no re-price sticker as is found on many copies). The dustwrapper is complete, with no creasing, chips or tears. Very unusually, there is no fading to the light-sensitive colours on the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper bright and clean. ***205mm x 130mm. 254 pages. ***'In his wickedly clever black comedy of manners, Martin Amis has projected a group of youngsters into a foreseeably "liberated" future. Indolent, heartless and predatory, they are the listless toys of the new morality, victims of repressions far more frightening than those they claim to have overcome. If "The Rachel Papers", Martin Amis's first novel, which won the Somerset Maugham Award, was a celebration of adolescence, "Dead Babies" is an elegy for its absence. It is a sobering forecast of what permissiveness wil do to its children.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the true first edition of the second novel by Martin Amis, in its original dustwrapper, in nice, bright condition. Quite a scarce book, and almost impossible to find without fading to the spine of the dustwrapper. This copy is absolutely unfaded. ***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.…
