A propos de cet article

First and only printing of the true first edition - this copy in the scarce PROOF STATE with white covers (rather than red) and different cover layout. ***Near fine in plain white printed card covers. The covers are largely clean, considering they are white, with just some light handling marks commensurate with age and handling. Sporadic foxing to the top edge of the page block, not affecting the interior pages. Extremities of covers very slightly rubbed, with a light crease to the top corner of the front cover, slightly affecting the first few pages. Light vertical reading creases to the spine, which also has a small split to the paper covering at the lower edge. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine 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 of the 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. ***A very scarce pre-publication proof copy of Granta 2. The standard red covers published version of Granta 2 is very hard to find now (photograph included for comparison), probably the second hardest Granta to acquire after the first issue Spring 1979 issue of Granta 1. This proof state of Granta 2 must be the scarcest of all the early Grantas. ***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.…
