A Pale View of Hills, Kazuo Ishiguro. First Edition 1982. Signed by the author

A Pale View of Hills. Faber and Faber, London 1982. Signed by the author to the title page.

Original publisher's light blue cloth, with gilt titles to spine. The price clipped dust jacket has light edgewear, and slight discolouration. The spine is not faded, unlike most copies. Internally there is the residual mark of a rusty paper clip, rust noticeable on two pages, the impression of the paper clip for 10 pages with diminishing impact.

(Not as bad as it sounds, see pictures). Otherwise contents are clean and bright with no markings.

Overall, in very good condition. From the collection of noted Irish bibliophile Dr Philip Murray, himself the author of The Adventures of a Book Collector. Ishiguro's first novel, a scarce title, especially so signed. This item is in the category "Books, Comics & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectable". The seller is "ppowerbooks" and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped worldwide.
