hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Knockemstiff is a pitch-dark and often hilarious collection of stories set in the tiny Appalachian town of Knockemstiff, Ohio, a community so deprived and diminished it no longer appears on any map. The youth of Knockemstiff grow up in the malignant shadow of their parents; raised on abuse, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, they are stunted in every possible way: emotionally, mentally, sometimes physically. They talk a lot about escape but they never so much as cross the county line. The stories in Knockemstiff are simple and compact, blunt and brutal, but are also infused with a deep sympathy for the incapacitating loneliness of poverty, neglect and severely limited horizons. Knockemstiff is a human, very funny and unforgettable debut from a stunning new voice in American fiction. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Etat : Like New. First British Edition. Publisher: Harvill Secker, London, 2008.FINE in thick cardboard boards, as issued. First British Edition, First Printing. As new. Unread. Pristine.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. SIGNED on the title page. This wonderfully original UK hardback first edition was deliberately made to look 'tough'. And that's because the book is beautifully filled with refreshingly tough regional American writing. Pollock is a great writer, and this is his first book. The cover boards are thick and bare, and the titling and wording front and back are stamped on in thick black ink. Superb in every way. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. My father showed me how to hurt a man one August night at the Torch Drive-in when I was seven years old. And that opening sentence is from this superb novel, which is SIGNED on the title page. Not only is this RARE it is also deliberately 'shabby' and decidedly uncouth. The rough cut thick cover boards are bashed deliberately, and the titling and text on the front and back boards are aggressively slapped on in thick black ink. This is a collectable and highly original edition, and it is much scarcer than the US first edition; especially as a SIGNED example. Signed by Author.
