- first
London: Michael Joseph. Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1956. First English Edition. Hardcover. A particularly bright copy of this scarce cult post-apocalyptic novel which is certainly the authors best known work. The basis for the 1970 movie No blade of Grass. A particularly bright copy with the normal faded white lettering on the spine looking like new. The only defects being a very slight 2mm tear on the front end paper and a small indent on the back end paper. The binding is tight and the book possibly unread. The DW has one small chip at the top of the spine very slight edgewear and small tears (about 2mm each) at the top and bottom of flaps but with no loses. Some discoloration from dust on the white lettering of the spine, but with no obvious fading. Jacket is unclipped (10s6d) and now in a protective acetate cover. A superb collectable copy of this scare book. Fine book in a VG+ or better Dust Jacket. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 230 pages .
