Description:
Viking, New York., 1985. First U.S. edition. Octavo. 352 pages.Presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the title-page: ''for Fay Godwin, with admiration, and thanks for being, according to my wife, the only person alive who's capable of making me look intelligent - Jonathan Raban. 27 III 86''. The recipient is the celebrated photographer who provided the author's portrait on the rear flap of the dustwrapper. Mr Raban would indeed look intelligent in the photograph were it not for his unfortunate choice of hat.Very good indeed in near-fine dustwrapper slightly creased at the edges.
