£225.00

First edition, first printing. Published by The Bodley Head in London, 1974. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, greatly illustrated by John Sewell, has some slight curling at the top edge, some corner wear and some light surface scratching. There is an area of separation to both spine tips. It has not been price clipped, rightly showing the original £2.95 net price. The boards are free from notable chips and marks, proudly bound in the publisher’s brown buckram. The internals are immaculate, as are the text blocks. Overall, this is a near fine copy and free from inscriptions. Rare.
It is a work of fictionalized autobiography and is the first of Pirsig’s texts in which he explores his concept of Quality.
