First Edition, History, Modern First Editions
The Sword of Honour Trilogy
By Evelyn Waugh
Three volumes. All first editions, first impressions, published by Chapman & Hall between 1952-1961.
All three volumes bound in blue cloth with lettering to spines in gilt and blue top-stain, which remains bright and well-preserved. A little toning to edges of vols I and II. Vol I has a tear to fore-edge of page 145 with some associated creasing and a thin and unobtrusive strip of discolouration to the bottom edge of upper board. The contents, aside from a couple of light and small areas of soiling to pages 310 & 313, are clean throughout. Vol II has some off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs and a small Foyles sticker to front paste-down, else a near fine book. Vol III is a fine and bright copy with just the slighted off-setting to fron and rear endpapers and paste-downs.
A few chips and tears to the edges of the dust jacket of the first two vols with a little spotting or light soiling in places and a couple of tape repairs to upper panel fore-edge of vol I. The dust jacket of vol III is near fine and bright, but for a touch of faint soiling to lower panel and a few light spots to verso.
A very good set overall.

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.

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.
