London: Heinemann, 1984. Advance uncorrected proof, signed by the author on the front wrapper. Clear plastic front cover, unfinished card rear cover, black cloth backstrip. Half inch tear to lower inner corner of front cover, light yellowing to page edges, just a mite leaned, else fine. Third novel of this lauded South African writer. The unorthodox, somewhat crude format of this proof suggests an even smaller print run than normal for such things.; Signed by Author
