A first edition, first printing of ‘Loot’, published by Methuen in 1967. A fine book without inscriptions, SIGNED without dedication to the title page by Orton. In a near fine lightly rubbed wrapper with a tiny amount of chipping to the spine top.
Orton was one of the UK’s most loved and promising playwrights. He was murdered by his jealous lover Kenneth Halliwell in August 1967. Given that the book was published in February of that year, the signature is exceptionally scarce.
