About This Item
London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1966. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Softcover : pp. [8] 9-317 [318] : original pale blue printed wrappers. [Hubber/Smith K2a citing a copy in a private collection].
Cocked and with light edgewear. Advance copy for the first UK edition indicating a probable publication date of April 1966. The first UK edition was published in May 1966 some months after the first American edition. White refused a $10,000 prize for the 1966 Britannica Award for Literature for the novel. He was also furious when he discovered that his publisher had entered the novel for the Miles Franklin Award. He rejected the award and would not allow any of his subsequent novels to be considered. This advance copy is cocked and has light edge-wear.
