Michael Joseph, London
A smart first UK edition of this early work by American author and civil rights activist, James Baldwin.
The first UK edition, first impression with no further impressions stated. Lacking the original dust wrapper. First published in the US the year prior.
An important early depiction of a gay relationship, the work remains a landmark queer text and cemented Baldwin’s reputation as a pioneering author of social and political issues.
In the publisher’s original brown cloth. Externally in excellent condition with minor shelf wear and slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine causing very minor fraying to the cloth. Offsetting to endpapers. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with marginal age toning.
Grading: NEAR FINE.
