About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Price-clipped Dj. Octavo, cloth
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. "Her books are so much on the wavelength of our times that we cannot be sure whether they defined society or society defined them.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
