American Psycho
First Edition, Modern First Editions, Signed First Editions
American Psycho
By Bret Easton Ellis
First UK hardcover edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author to the title page: 'For Danny best wishes Bret Easton Ellis'. A novel that was censored in several countries due to the graphic nature of the violence it depicts and formed the basis for the popular 2000 film adaptation.
Originally published as a paperback in the US and UK in 1991 and, as a hardcover, by way of the present edition in the UK in 1998. A hardcover edition would not be issued in the US until some 14 years later in 2012.
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine and dark blue endpapers and paste-downs. A lovely and clean example with only a very minor knock to bottom corner of upper board and mild compression to spine foot.
The original and unclipped dust jacket bears the correct '10.00' price, corresponding to the first issue. Some of the usual sunning to spine panel with a little edgewear to spine ends and a very tiny nick to foot of lower panel spine hinge.
A near fine copy of a novel that is uncommon inscribed.

Kafka on the Shore
First Edition, Haruki Murakami, Modern First Editions
Kafka on the Shore
By Haruki Murakami
First UK edition, first impression. Winner of the World Fantasy Award in 2006 and among the author's most popular books.
Original black cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Very good with light toning to edges and opening somewhat wide at half-title. Boards and contents are both clean and free from marks.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has a little mild edge wear, but is otherwise very good indeed.

The Winter of Our Discontent
First Edition, John Steinbeck, Modern First Editions
The Winter of Our Discontent
By John Steinbeck
First UK edition, first impression. The author's last novel, published in 1961.
Original dark purple cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Slight bowing to boards with a previous owner name and date to front endpaper. A few peripheral spots to opening leaves and to edges.
The original and unclipped dust jacket shows a little edge wear with a couple of very small nicks and some spotting to verso. A very good example overall.

Planet Plane
John Wyndham, Modern First Editions, Science Fiction
Planet Plane
By John Beynon (John Wyndham)
First edition, first impression in the rare green first issue cloth, rather than the later yellow binding. Later re-published under the title 'Stowaway to Mars'. The author's second science fiction novel and third published novel overall, preceding those he wrote as 'John Wyndham', such as 'The Day of the Triffids', 'The Chrysalids' and 'The Midwich Cuckoos' that so dramatically influenced the genre.
Original green cloth. Gift inscription to front paste-down. Some spotting, primarily to preliminaries, edges and final leaves with far lighter and more isolated spotting to contents, else very good. Lacking dust jacket. A rare edition of one of the author's earliest works, seldom found in its first issue green binding.
