Large, thick 8vo., black publisher's boards, lettered and decorated with skeleton motif direct to spine; with matching decorative endpapers printed in grey and white; complete in the original unclipped brown, black and white printed dustwrapper (£14.99); THE BOOK near fine, perhaps a touch shaky due to the weight of the binding; a little pushed at spine ends; the odd spot to the edge of the text block THE WRAPPER fine. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First UK edition, first printing. This example signed by the author to the title page, with two Booker Prize ephemeral items loosely inserted (an unused sticker, and a full-sized bookmark).
