Elizabeth Costello - FIRST WORLD PRINTING! [Buy it!] | Coetzee, J. M. - BOOKER WINNER | USD 77.97 (Fri May 24 17:23:41 2024) | AbebooksUK | THE BOOKSNIFFER | ISBN10: 0436206161, ISBN13: 9780436206160, [publisher: Secker & Warburg London] Hardcover First Edition Unread, unmarked, perfect copy, as new. Protected perfect jacket. This is the TRUE world first hardback edition. I cannot see any defect beyond the usual paper stock ageing. This is a vexed question that particularly applies to UK publishers, who often use wood pulp stock on hardback issues. US publishers are much more caring about acid free paper. This text block is merely reflecting the false economy of Secker. But apart from this one factor, over which no bookseller can have any control, this is a perfect unread first printing of the world first hardback edition.
