Printing Details

First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 13cm, 147pp.

Signed directly to the title page by Christopher Priest.

Survivors of a terrible African war flee their blighted continent, and look for refuge in the countries of the West. But Britain is falling into civil war and anarchy. One of Christopher Priest's earliest novels, Fugue for a Darkening Island is a powerful work whose subject matter has become increasingly relevant in recent years.

Condition

The book is in very good condition with a small smattering of spotted foxing to the page edges but the main body of text in good clean condition. The dustwrapper suffers some corner wear and some minor loss to the spine ends but is now within a protective sleeve. Whilst the wrapper has not been price-clipped, a publisher's price sticker has been stuck over the original price.
