Modestly inscribed by the author on the title page: “To Anthony, from Martin (Amis)”. The author’s third book, inscribed by him to his father’s close friend and Oxford contemporary, Anthony Thwaite. The author’s third book. Loosely inserted is a publisher’s review slip, with a veritable array of holograph notes by Thwaite. The head of the rear inner flap has a small brown stain and there is some foxing in places, otherwise an excellent copy in dust jacket, without the usual fading to the spine.
