Jacket condition: near fine
Seller: Christopher's Rare Books

United States
About Item: New York: Random House, 1980. First printing. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. An extremely rare copy of Peter Carey's first book, a collection of ten short stories. Set in an unnerving version of the near future, these surrealistic parables hint at the torrent of novels to come, two of which have won the booker Prize. Book is in perfect condition, without the usual remainder mark. Jacket is fine to front with one small, closed tear to top edge; back has one tiny chip missing, with minor rubbing and one edge wrinkle. Overall, a very collectable copy of this unusual book.
