1971Best.-Nr. 772New York: Simon and Schuster 1971. Reissue with Author's Introduction. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine.

SIGNED Presentation Copy in excellent condition internally and externally of the author's important 1962 novel now reissued WITH HER INTRODUCTION a near-decade later. From my experience Lessing didn't like to sign copies of her works and signed copies of this her most noteworthy work are Scarce. The persona I knew tended to be hardheaded diffident and a bit crusty though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature.

A tight bright clean copy. Dust jacket has a bit of rubbing at extremities; Random House remainder stamp on bottom of pages. Simon and Schuster hardcover
