first edition of the author's first novel

Scarce first edition of this Jamaican author's first novel, one of the first to consider the emerging Rastafarian movement and the Jamaican ghetto (the Dungle).

First edition, first impression; 8vo; minor spotting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's dark grey cloth, titles to spine in silver, with the unclipped pictorial dust-jacket, slight chipping to corners, tape repairs at head and foot of spine, minor edge-wear, else very good.
