With simple illustrations to a leaf introducing each story. 8vo, publisher's original coated wraps, the covers pictorially and photographically decorated in colours, the spine panel letttered and pictorially decorated. [x], 273 pp. A very fine copy, as pristine. FIRST EDITION OF THIS WONDERFUL TOUR DE FORCE WRITTEN BY SOME OF IRELAND'S LEADING NOVELISTS. THE BOOK IS SIGNED BY SIX OF THE AUTHORS. 'Since the 1920's, Finbar's Hotel has stood on Dublin's quays, at one time--behind its respectable façade--the haunt of surreptitious priests, prostitutes and politicians, but more recently sinking into terminal decline. Soon its new rock star owner will tear the building down, but during the course of one night, Finbar's Hotel is about to be visited by a bewildering array of guests. The book is an "extraordinary interwoven work of fiction, pulsating with humour, vitality and suspense--not least the unsolved puzzle of which author actually wrote each chapter.'
