Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. 224pp. 1977. First Edition. 8vo. A flat signed presentation copy. Flat signed 'Willie McIlvanney' to the head of the front endpaper with the inscription - 'Best wishes'. A scarce flat signed copy of the seminal work to introduce the Tartan Noire - and therefore an important title. A near fine, clean, tight and bright copy of this scarce first edition in very good jacket. Original publisher's black boards - gilt embossed to the spine. A light bump to the tail of the spine and the extreme tip of one upper leaf corner has been turned. The jacket has not been price-clipped; around 4 tiny strips of archival tape have been used on some very short tears or nicks to the verso of the jacket - one which has been effectively coloured black to conceal what would have been a short open tear to the lower front panel of the jacket. There is also an expertly repaired - short - 1cm long tear to the head of the front panel and some - the usual - uniform fading to the spine of the jacket. A near fine signed copy in very good jacket of this a seminal work that ushered in 'the tartan noir'. Priced for the same amount as I sold the last signed copy I had a couple of years back - only this copy is in considerably better condition. Nº de ref. del artículo: 239434
