About This Item
First edition, first impression. Signed and dated by the author in the year and month of publication. Rare thus. Cover art by Richard Hopkinson. The popular second book in the Culture series.
Original dark blue cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Just a hint of the usual rubbing to spine tips, else fine, in a near fine or better dust jacket with the slightest hint of spine fade and one isolated and very minor instance of wear to spine head.
A fantastic example, seldom encountered with such attributes.
