author's second book

A very good first edition of the author's second book, scarce to find with the fragile Gollancz dust-jacket in such good condition. The book's printed dedication acknowledges the assistance of the author's college friend, the poet Philip Larkin, in proofing and editing the text.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's cloth, dust-jacket, a little fraying to spine ends and corner tips but overall very good.
