Description:
First US edition, first impression (Harper & Row, 1970) in first state dust jacket with the exclamation mark after 'Latin America' on upper flap. Originally published in Spanish in 1967. Original green cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and green endpapers and paste-downs. A small area of light browning to front endpaper with very minor traces of rubbing to spine tips, near fine otherwise. The original and unclipped dust jacket has very mild traces of edge wear in places with a very small chip to bottom of lower panel, a couple of tiny nicks to edges and a price fairly inconspicuously pencilled under the original jacket price. A beautiful copy of the novel's first appearance in English, housed in an attractive drop-back box.

First edition, first impression (Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 1997). One of 5,150 copies published simultaneously with the first hardback edition, of which there were reportedly 500 copies. This example is also accompanied by a rare card signed by the author featuring the iconic artwork from the front cover of the book. All first impression issue points are present.
Original pictorial covers. Some of the usual fading to the spine and toning to edges with minor signs of spotting to top edge. Neat previous over name to half-title and small area of light browning to the top edge and one solitary very small spot to the bottom corner of a couple of the opening pages. A few spots to final few pages with a larger area of browning to the rear with some associated lighter spotting to inside of rear cover. Contents are very nice and clean otherwise and the covers and spine are in almost pristine condition with barely any signs of wear, making the book present as unread.
A very good copy indeed of one of the most famous and popular works of modern fiction accompanied by the author's signature. Rare thus.

Description:
First edition, first impression (Collins Clear-Type Press: London and Glasgow, 1958). Signed and inscribed by the author to the front endpaper: "To Nina, with best wishes, Michael Bond". The dedicatee is Nina Froud who was a personal friend of the author and worked at his literary agency. The first book in the Paddington series where one of the most iconic and beloved British fictional characters first appeared, later going on to form the basis of several ongoing TV and successful film adaptations. Publisher's original red cloth with silver lettering to spine containing illustrations by Peggy Fortnum. A beautiful, fine and pristine book throughout, save for a touch of off-setting to endpapers. Appears unread. The original complete dust jacket is not price-clipped and is in unusually superior condition with a chip to spine head - not affecting any lettering - and a closed tear to top of upper panel fore-edge with a couple of tiny and inconspicuous nicks to the top edge of lower panel.

A very good book indeed with some spotting to edges and 'Xmas 1963' written in biro on front paste-down, but concealed by the upper flap of the dust jacket. The original and unclipped dust jacket is very good or better with a few tears to edges and spine head, where there is an associated crease to top edge of lower panel. A very good copy indeed.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
