A House for Mr Biswas
By V.S. Naipaul
First American edition, first impression (McGraw-Hill, 1961). Jacket design by Stephen Russ.
Original dark green cloth with white lettering to spine. Just a hint of knocking and rubbing to extremities, else fine and internally pristine without names or inscriptions. The original dust jacket is clipped to bottom corner of front flap, but still bears the original '$5.95' price; a few small nicks to spine head with a touch of rubbing here and there. A lovely and bright near fine copy of the author's most iconic work.

A Storm of Swords
By George R. R. Martin
A very good copy with some light marks to top edge and upper board and a faint stain to top of rear endpaper. The original and unclipped dust jacket is also very good with some edge wear and some creasing in places, primarily to spine panel head and folds.
A nice copy of the third book in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.

Faint marginal soiling to spine with minor wrinkling here and there; top edge of upper cover and opening few pages turned up slightly; area of minor staining to lower cover with a little colour transfer to fore-edge of rear endpaper, contents nice and clean otherwise and firmly bound. A very good example of a rare book.
