Richard Bach – Jonathan Livingston Seagull – First UK Edition 1972
£450.00
A first edition, first printing published by Turnstone in 1972. A near fine book with a neat name and date to the dedication page. In a near fine (lightly rubbed) dust wrapper which is neatly price clipped. Many copies available are later printings. The story is a philosophical and allegorical tale about a seagull named Jonathan Livingston Seagull who is different from the rest of his flock. While other seagulls are content with the simple pursuit of food and daily survival, Jonathan has a higher aspiration: he wants to fly not just for survival but for the pure joy and art of flying. The story has inspired readers to seek their own path and strive for self-improvement and self-realisation. This is the first UK edition and scarce.
