Iain Banks

The Player of Games By Iain M. Banks First edition, first impression (Macmillan, 1988). Signed, inscribed and dated by the author to the title page in the year of publication: 'To Dave - don't give up the booze Cheers! Iain M Banks 14/9/88'. The second book in the Culture series. Publisher's original blue cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and white endpapers and paste-downs. A bit of toning to edges of text block with some marking to boards, primarily to lower board, and rubbing to board edges, otherwise very good and free from names and inscriptions. The original and unclipped dust jacket has some light fading to spine panel and minimal traces of edge wear in places with a very small and inconspicuous nick to bottom edge, near fine otherwise. A very good copy indeed, bearing a unique inscription from the author.
