First edition SIGNED novel
This is a first edition of CP Snow's landmark novel, The Affair, published in 1960.
It is inscribed to Jim Hicks, with Snow's signature and date, Oct[ober] 1960.
The book is a presumed first edition hardcover with a newly-added protective dust jacket cover (Bro-Dart). The book itself is in near Fine condition, and appears unread and extremely well preserved for its age.
The boards and spine are clean and unmarked. The inside pages are bright and unfaded. The binding is strong, and there are no ownership signs (save the author's inscription), no writing or library marks, no remainder marks and no bent pages.
The dust jacket would also be in near fine condition except for extensive foxing on the front and back. It has no folds, minimal nicks to the spine area, and the original price ($4.50) is still on the front fold.
