About This Item
Viking, 1963-04-24. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. SIGNED, without inscription, by Iris Murdoch on a non-publisher's tipped in leaf. The volume is lightly bumped on the spine ends and bottom front corner, and there is a touch of sunning along the top edge; the contents are a tad shaken. There are two dust jackets accompanying the book. The better of the two is unclipped, sleeved in mylar, edge worn and has some small spine and rear joint abrasions.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
