Kingsley Amis – The Green Man – First Edition 1969
£125.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1969. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, designed by Colin Andrews, has some slight wear throughout, with a notable chip at the spine. It has been price clipped, but retains the 30s net price. There are some slight surface scratches. The boards are free from notable chips and marks. The text blocks are bright and white throughout and it is free from previous owners ink. Overall, this is a near fine copy.
A Times Literary Supplement reviewer described The Green Man as “three genres of novel in one”: ghost story, moral fable, and comic novel. The novel reflects Amis’s willingness to experiment with genre novels.
