A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original white cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth bright and fresh to the boards but toned to the spine (most likely with a reaction to the acidity in the paper) as the book otherwise feels unread. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the price-clipped dustwrapper that is otherwise without loss or tears. An excellent example.

The author's only novel, a posthumous published comic masterpiece. The British first edition, of which 1500 copies were printed is uncommon.
