Gollancz, London, 1998 first edition hardback in dustwrapper. Complete number line: 98 99 5 4 3 2 1.

Signed and dedicated to title page: "To David, Best Wishes Nick Hornby".

A fairly well-preserved issue. Dustwrapper is structurally sound with a minor nick and loss to top right front corner tip and slight scuffing to joint between front panel and inner flap. Slight sunning banding to edge. Water stain tidemark to bottom edge (see photos). Unclipped.

Fractional signs of staining to boards, absolutely minimal, else boards sound and binding supple. A touch of forward lean to top half of spine.

Internally white, clean and free of marks. Page edges with just a few dots of marks including a very few tiny foxing dots to top edge which is also just a touch dusty.
