David Nobbs – The Itinerant Lodger – First Edition 1965
£175.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Methuen & Co Ltd. in London, 1965. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper is mostly bright and clean, but sadly suffers from some major lifting in the laminate around the front spine edge and some toning to the top and tail edges. It has not been price clipped and shows the original 18s net price. The brown clothbound boards are free from notable wear and the text blocks are slightly toned and foxed in places. This copy is free from inscriptions and is in very good condition overall.
One wintry afternoon a lodger named Wilson arrives at 38, Trebisall Avenue, filled with hope. As he crosses the threshold of Mrs. Pollard’s house, with its “aura of impending stew” he becomes a new man. This is a tactic he has tried before, just as he has tried many jobs before, from cook to seismographer’s assistant…
