“Only then (nearly out the door, so to speak) did I realize how unspeakably beautiful all of this was, how precisely engineered for our pleasure, and saw that I was on the brink of squandering a wondrous gift, the gift of being allowed, every day, to wander this vast sensual paradise, this grand marketplace lovingly stocked with every sublime thing.”
The book has light wear to the tips and spine ends and a remainder dot. The boards remain straight, binding is square and firm, and internally there is no writing or other markings. The dust jacket has the typical rubbing at the edges and joints which is so common to this title and light soiling to the rear panel. A presentable and attractive example of Saunders’ first novel. Winner of the Booker Prize.
