![]() ![]() Paul Davis DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ lightly chipped at the spine ends). The author's second novel, somewhat revised from its original serialisation in 'The Saturday Evening Post', and the basis for two pretty decent film adaptations. The wrapper is a little rubbed at the spine ends and corner tips, and with a little light chafing, and a touch of wear to the natural folds. A critical note boldly inked to the title page by a somewhat disgruntled contemporary former owner ("Very good but doesn't know the language of the west"), prevents this from being graded higher, yet it remains an extremely crisp and bright copy in non-price-clipped pictorial dust wrapper with a striking design by Tom Adams which is distinctly superior to the US wrapper design. A small area of offsetting from a now absent dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Top edge spotted and with a little fading to the publisher's pink top edge stain. ![]() ![]() Brown cloth lettered and ruled in gold at the spine. First UK Edition (first printing), issued the year after the considerably more common US edition. ![]()
