Book
Paperback. Condition: New. Main. Language: English. Brand new Book. Winner of the inaugural Booker Prize in 1969.It is 1956 and Townrow is in Port Said - of these two facts he's reasonably certain. He has been summoned by the widow of his deceased friend, Elie Khoury. She is convinced that Elie was murdered, but nobody seems to agree with her. What about Leah Strauss, the mistress? And the invading British paratroops? Only an Englishman, surely, would take for granted that the British have behaved themselves. In this disorientating world Townrow must assess the rules by which he has been living his life - to wonder whether he, too, may have something to answer for . . .

The black title lettering on the spine remains clear and strong. The text block is square and tightly bound; there is some light spotting on the top edge but none on the fore or bottom edges.

First Edition
Cloth Bound. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. The winner of the first Booker Prize. Original orange cloth, lettered black on spine. 8vo. 285pp. Fine in fine dust-wrapper. The d/w has one very slight crease, a little light shelf wear at top edge and a trace of dust marking to rear panel but is in very bright, unfaded, crisp condition. It is not price clipped and displays the original price of 30s £1.50 on inner front flap. Although bearing no ownership markings of any kind, this copy was from the personal library of Peter du Sautoy, the chairman of Faber & Faber. This intelligent thriller, set against the backdrop of war-torn Port Said in 1956 was the inaugural winner of the Booker Prize in 1969. It is scarce and arguably the rarest of all the Booker winners.
