Animal Farm
By George Orwell
First edition thus, featuring illustrations by Quentin Blake. Original pictorial cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A touch of fading to spine with a few light and unobtrusive marks to cloth, else near fine. Housed in the original slipcase, which is also near fine with a couple of instances of rubbing to corners.

Kafka on the Shore

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.

A Town Like Alice
First Edition, Modern First Editions, Nevil Shute
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.
