JOHN BANVILLE. — Doctor Copernicus. A novel.

Secker & Warburg, London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 242pp. Blue boards lettered in gold at the spine. Top edge lightly dust soiled and speckled, and with a sliver of discolouration to the head and base of the boards, a touch of very light spotting to the endpapers and a small area of surface abrasion at the head of the rear pastedown. A very good copy in very good non-price-clipped dust wrapper, with a little light uneven fading to the unprinted rear panel, alongside several areas of minor indeterminate abrasion. Two tiny slivers of surface abrasion from the base of the spine panel, presumably caused when the New Fiction Society label was carefully removed. Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the first volume in the author's 'Revolutions' trilogy (followed by 'Kepler' and 'The Newton Letter')., Very Good, Very Good
