Atonement
By Ian McEwan
First edition, first impression. Signed, inscribed and dated by the author to the title page: 'To Vic Best Wishes Ian McEwan 17 March 2002'. Less common inscribed as opposed to just signed. Adapted to film in 2007 and widely considered to be among the author's best works.
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine and black endpapers and paste-downs. Small spot to fore-edge, else fine, in the fine and unclipped dust jacket with only very mild instances of wear to top edge.

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.

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.
