The Sea, The Sea
By Iris Murdoch
First edition, first impression. The author's nineteenth novel and winner of the 1978 Booker Prize.
Original green cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Brief gift inscription to front endpaper. Tiny nick to the top of page 245 with a small area of light impact to the fore-edge of a handful of pages, else near fine. The original and unclipped dust jacket, with the cover art by Hokusai, has only very minimal traces of wear to spine tips, but is otherwise near fine and sharp.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
By C. S. Lewis
First edition, first impression. The first book in The Chronicles of Narnia series, illustrated by Pauline Baynes.
Original green cloth with silver lettering to spine. Some of the often-encountered ghosting to boards. Gift and previous owner inscriptions to front endpaper, slight spine slant, otherwise very good.
The unclipped dust jacket - which is frequently found heavily restored - is completely original with no restoration. Some losses, primarily to upper panel. A few chips and tears to edges with some browning to verso.

The Spy Who Loved Me
By Ian Fleming
First edition, first impression. The tenth book in the James Bond series.
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine and a blind-stamped dagger to upper board with silver blade. A very good book indeed with some spotting to edges, in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with a couple of small nicks and one shallow chip to top edge and some spotting to verso. A very good copy.
