Tom Wolfe – The Bonfire of the Vanities – First UK Edition 1988
£75.00
First edition, first printing of ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’ by Tom Wolfe. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1988. This is a near fine copy. The near fine, slightly spine faded dust wrapper has a little rubbing and has been price clipped. The boards are clean as are the page blocks. This copy is free from previous owners ink and is in near fine condition.
The story is a drama about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City, and centers on three main characters: WASP bond trader Sherman McCoy, Jewish assistant district attorney Larry Kramer, and British expatriate journalist Peter Fallow.
