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 Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams
First paperback edition, first impression. Inscribed by the author to the inside front cover: 'Best Wishes, Douglas Adams'. The paperback is the true first edition and precedes the hardback which was issued later in the same year.
Edges toned, as usual. Slight rubbing to extremities of wraps with the odd scratch to edges, otherwise an excellent example.
Adam's enduring iconic work based on the radio series of the same name. Rare with these attributes.

Salem's Lot
By Stephen King
First UK edition, first impression. Adapted into mini-series in 1979 and 2004 with a film adaptation released in late 2024.
Original black cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Faint off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs. A few light spots to opening few pages with the usual toning to edges.
The original dust jacket is price-clipped with the publisher's reprice sticker to the top corner of upper flap and some spotting to verso. Spine panel lettering very slightly faded.
A very good or better example of an uncommon edition of the author's second published novel.

The Master & Margarita
First Edition, Modern First Editions
The Master & Margarita
by Mikhail Bulgakov
First UK edition, first impression, published by Collins in 1967 and translated by Michael Glenny. Written between 1928 to 1940 in the Soviet Union and initially published in Russian in serial form in 1966-1967, though this had a portion of the original text removed due to its criticism of the Russian government. The first edition in Russian was issued in France by YMCA Press in 1967. The complete version of the novel was not published in Russia until 1973. Widely viewed as one of the most important novels of the 20th Century.
Original green cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A few faint spots to edges and a moderate bump to top corner of lower board. A little cracking to rear hinge, but holding very firm.
The original and unclipped dust jacket is in fine condition, but for a few very faint instances of soiling to rear panel and a few light spots to rear panel verso. An exceedingly bright, near fine copy.
