The first edition, first impression with no further impressions stated. In the original unclipped dust wrapper designed by ‘BGS’. 

Wilson’s third collection of short stories, ‘A Bit Off the Map’ contains eight stories, the characters of which all unified by their inability to find a place in post-war Britain. Written by Angus Wilson, one of the first openly gay English authors. 

In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally in excellent condition with slight bumping to the extremities. Prior owner’s neat ink inscription to front free endpaper. Dust wrapper is very smart with minor chipping to the extremities. Slight sunning to the spine and the occasional handling mark to the wrap. Slight rubbing to joints. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just marginal age toning to the extremities.

Grading: NEAR FINE in a VERY GOOD INDEED dust wrapper.
