Rear board has an indentation, level with the bottom of the paper label on spine; perhaps as a result of improper shelving. Many pages have soiling and/or foxing as well as turned down corners. Based on my "inexpert" cursory review, the binding itself is still strong. Photo of Aleister Crowley is affixed to front paste down and a very brief review is pasted to the ffep both presumably clipped from a contemporary periodical as the price indicated for the volume is "15s". NB: not in original binding, this book has been re-bound-many, many years ago. Ex-libris- English bibliophile and Aleister Crowley scholar Nicholas C. Bishop-Culpeper, with his distinctive book label affixed to flyleaf. paid $100 for it

Hulme, Keri: The Bone People. Louisiana State University Press, A tale of New Zealand. Stated United States First Edition, 1985. 450 pages, indexed. WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
