Description: This is a terrific stated "First Edition" of Michael Frayn's classic novel published in 2002 by Metropolitan Books. Importantly, this particular copy is superb condition, essentially "like new" with no significant defects or blemishes. the dust jacket is "clean and bright" with little to no edge wear and the inside of the book is pristine with no defects or blemishes; indeed, it clearly appears to have never been read! Specifics include: -The book includes a number line on the copyright page starting with a "2", which I upon information and belief indicates that this also is the collectible First Printing of the First Edition according to Metropolitan's practices in effect at the pertinent time; -This is neither a library copy nor a book-club edition; -The text is 100% clean with no writing, highlighting or other marks on any pages or anywhere else; -The pages have no rips or creases; -There are no stains, soiling, moisture problems nor any signs of aging (e.g., no discoloration or spotting); -There are no names, inscriptions, stickers, stamps, imprints or any other marks by previous owners or sellers; -The book is not price-clipped (rather, it has $23.00 on the front, inside flap); -The binding is "tight and square"; -There are no remainder marks; -The boards are fine; -The dust jacket is "bright and clean" with no writing, stains, soiling, scratches, rips, wrinkling rubbing or any other significant or notable marks; -The edges of the DJ are still relatively sharp with essentially no overt or notable wear or damage. In sum, I believe this a nice collectible copy of this relatively rare and increasingly hard-to-find First Edition of this classic novel by one of the great authors of the past 50 years book. In any event, please review the photos to also consider the condition of the book yourself. Of course, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about the book or the listing. Thank you for looking!
