London: Michael Joseph 1960. First British edition. The true first edition. Very near fine in like dustwrapper, some neat repairs at the spine ends and corners; a little edge creasing, otherwise a good example of one of the main contributions of the "Angry Young Men" genre of that period. Basis for the 1962 British movie that was directed by John Schlesinger and starred Alan Bates and June Ritchie. Laid in to the book is a First Day Cover of 1999 signed by Stan Barstow and Alan Bates. Signed by the author.
