"The Ginger Man" by J.P. Donleavy. Published in softback by Olympia Press in 1955. First Edition. 353pp. The book is in Very Good condition for its age. The covers are very clean. The side and lower edge blocks are clean while the top edge block has a foxing-like speckling that does not extend onto any page of text (see scan). The "Francs: 1.500" on the rear is not crossed out, as so often seen. Internally the volume is very clean and looks largely unread. It is inscription and annotation free. The book is now protected by a removable see-through sleeve. A very nice example of this important 20thC novel. Any questions, please just ask.
