The Brightfount Diaries
London: Faber & Faber, Inc., 1955.
First edition. Signed by Brain Aldiss on the title page. Bound in publisher's blue cloth with gilt spine lettering. Fine in Fine dust jacket, unfaded and unclipped (12s 6d net). The British scifi author's first book, just plain old literature, but semi-autobiographical, about toiling in a large provincial bookshop. An excellent copy, from a collection of an old book scout that sat undisturbed for decades.
Price: $225
