BRUCE CHATWIN : On the Black Hill. A novel. (INSCRIBED)

Jonathan Cape, London, 1982

First Edition (first printing) - this copy inscribed by the author on the title page: "For John with best wishes Bruce 9 Nov 83" and with a former owner name (John Cupper, presumably the recipient of Chatwin's inscription) inked to the head of the front free endpaper. 8vo. 248pp. Grey boards lettered in gold at the spine. A tiny sliver of discolouration to the board edges, else a fine copy in fine non-price-clipped dust wrapper. Chatwin's third book, winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and, bafflingly, the Whitbread First Novel Award (the judges were presumably unaware of his novel 'The Viceroy of Ouidah' which was published two years previously). Really quite uncommon with the author's signature.. Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fine
