The Sheltering Sky, by Paul Bowles; 1949 First UK Edition w/ Facs Dust Jacket

Description: She was saved from prettiness by the intensity of her gaze. Here we offer the first UK edition, stated second impression (printing), of the classic novel, The Sheltering Sky, by the American composer, Paul Bowles, published by John Lehmann, Ltd., Paulton and London, in 1949. Both Time Magazine and the Modern Library have included The Sheltering Sky on their 100-best novels list. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Boards are lightly soiled; spine is sunned (please see pics). Intact endpages are inscribed. Binding is very tight and square. Text is very bright and crisp with some light stains. The new dust jacket comes secured in a mylar sleeve, ready to slip into your collection. 304 pages. The book measures approximately 8 x 5.5-inches. This classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.
