NOVELIST AS A VOCATION

First UK edition, first printing. Original black paper-covered boards with white titles to the spine, in the Noma Bar illustrated dustwrapper. Patterned endpapers. Black patterned edges. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the contents clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. There is a small abrasion to the closed text-block edge. Complete with the fine dustwrapper which has a 'Waterstones exclusive edition' label to the front panel and a barcode label to the rear panel. Not price-clipped (£18.99 to the front flap).

Haruki Murakami's exploration of his own creative writing practice.
