This is a very good edition with author's signature of Julian Barnes' essay-memoir in three parts exploring the history of ballooning and photography as well as more personal meditations on love and grief, dedicated to his late wife, Pat Kavanagh (1940-2008).

First edition, signed by the author in pen to title page; 8vo; black endpapers; publisher's black cloth, spine lettered in white, a very good copy with dust-jacket lightly rubbed on edges; [viii], 118pp.
