A propos de cet article

A true UKfirst edition / first printing, with 'First published in Great Britain 1978' on the copyright page (and no lager edition stated). A hilarious novel, set in England, about the amorous adventures of an American scholar. The book has been price-clipped, and there is a of touch of foxing. Also, a little shelfwear on the front of the jacket. Overall, a pleasing copy. We protect all our books with a removable plastic cover, and send them with care. N° de réf. du vendeur 001235
