Early UK edition in very good dust jacket. NOT price clipped. Mild edgewear. Tanning to spine & margins. Previous owner's name inked front free end page. Else interiors clean & without markings. Two tiny dark marks top textblock edge. This is early UK edition, but does not appear to be a First. According to 'A Pocket Guide to the Identification of First Editions', Collins should meet this criteria 'same date must appear on title page and on back of title page with no additional printings indicated'. This copy has 1967 on title page (which is the correct year for First/firsts) but on the 'back' (ie the copyright page) this is all that is said: 'Copyright by William H. Gass, 1966; printed in Great Britian by; J. Horn Ltd., Glasgow'. That all makes sense because this title was issued in US by New American Library in 1966. This might be a first UK, but I do not know enough to be certain. I know it is a very early UK printing, if not a first. And it is in very good overall condition.
