[Signed] [First Edition] The Crimson Petal and the White

First Edition (first printing) - this copy signed by the author on the title page. 8vo. 835pp. Black boards lettered in gold at the spine and upper board. With decorated endpapers, head- and tail-bands, and a place marker ribbon. A trace of very light superficial marking to the boards, and just a touch of minor bruising to the spine ends. A virtually fine copy in non-price-clipped dust wrapper, marred only by a trace of corresponding chafing to the spine panel ends and a single short crease to the rear flap. The author's acclaimed fourth novel, a Victorian epic ("[the] novel that Dickens might have written had he been allowed to speak freely . presented to us by a narrator with the mind and mouth of the 21st century" - Guardian review).

Estimate:£36.04
