1987
[2], 206pp.
Faber and Faber, London
A smart early edition of the second novel from Nobel Prize winning author, Kazuo Ishiguro.
A bibliographical oddity, with publishing information stating the book is a paper back, but the book is the hard back edition. Later issue, printed by Richard Clay.
In the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Winner of the Whitbread Book of the Year award, ‘An Artist of The Floating World’ follows an aging painter in post-World War Two Japan.
In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally smart, with slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Dust wrapper is smart with bumping and shelf wear to the extremities and scattered spotting to the wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with marginal age toning and spotting to the fore edge.
Grading: VERY GOOD INDEED in a VERY GOOD INDEED dust wrapper.
