Roald Dahl – Matilda – First UK Edition 1988 – with Uncorrected Proof in Dust Wrapper
£2,000.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Matilda’ by Roald Dahl [with] a jacketed uncorrected proof published by Cape in 1988. A near fine book without inscriptions, a little bumping to the corners and spine tips. In a near fine unclipped wrapper. A near fine copy. Accompanied by an uncorrected proof copy of the same title. The red card covers state that the provisional UK published date is 21 April 1988 and the provisional price will be £8.50. This price corresponds to the that of the over-sized dust wrapper in which the book is now housed. Associated creases to the binding and wear to the corners.
A superb double whammy of two rare books – probably Dahl’s best work.
