A propos de cet article

First and only printing of the true first edition. ***Very good in black printed scarlet card covers. The covers are clean, with some rubbing to the extremities, mainly to the edges of the spine. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. The sun-sensitive red to the spine is slightly faded. No reading creases to the spine. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No creases or tears. Importantly - no signs of splitting to the glued binding that this edition of Granta is particularly prone to. ***224 pages plus an unnumbered page on the inside back cover continuing notes on contributors. 202mm x 142mm. ***Contents: Richard Godden: Two Poems; Jerome Klinkowitz & Thomas Remington: Science Fiction to Superfiction; D. A. Miller: Language of Detective Fiction: Fiction of Detective Language; Peter Robinson: Four Poems; Robert Coover: Lucky Pierre and the Coldwater Flat; David Black: Nostalgia; M.J. Fitzgerald: Bachelor Life; Walter Abish: Sweet Truth; David Katz: The Wife; Norman Bryson: City of Dis: The Fiction of Don DeLillo; Robert Boyers: The Weightless Characters of William Styron; Heide Ziegler: Interview - John Barth; John Barth: Letters from LETTERS; Don Guttenplan: On the Death of Elizabeth Bishop; Tony Tanner: A Preface to A. H.; George Steiner: The Portage to San Cristobal of A. H. (a fantasy of Hitler alive in the Amazon); Jeremy Lane: B-ABEL. ***The scarce first and only printing of Granta 2, in bright undamaged collectable condition. Granta 2 is the most prone to damage of the first three Grantas - most copies are found cracked open as the binding is poorly glued. To find a virtually unread copy such as this is highly unusual. ***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.
