First Canadian edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the title page. The true first edition published by Knopf in September 2001, preceding those of the US and UK, which were issued the following year. Winner of the Booker Prize in 2002 and later adapted into a successful film in 2012.
Original yellow cloth with red lettering to spine. A little compression to spine foot, else fine. The original and unclipped dust jacket, featuring artwork by Jamie Bennett, has very trivial traces of wear to spine head, but is otherwise fine and sharp.

A Town Like Alice
By Nevil Shute
First edition, first impression. A romance novel set in Australia and, briefly, in Malaya; published in 1950 soon after the author had settled in Australia. Adapted into a film and popular TV series in 1956 and 1981 respectively.
Original red cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and book title and author's monogram to upper cover in blind and publisher's imprint in blind to lower cover. Red top-stain. Some toning to edges and marginal, moderate browning to half-title. 'June' written in biro to front endpaper. Upper board ever-so-slightly bowed. Else a very good copy or better with the red top-stain nicely preserved and the contents nice and clean.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has several chips to spine ends and to upper panel with a few closed tears to edges, most notably to the top of lower panel. Some spotting to verso and, more faintly, to flaps.
