WHIPPING STAR

First UK hardcover edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with the unavoidable toning of the cheap paper stock, and the publisher's 'R' stamp [review copy?] in black ink to the title page, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the ever so slightly spine faded dustwrapper that is free from loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£4.95 net to the lower front flap

Previously published in the UK as a paperback original, this first hardcover edition is scarce. First published in America by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1970, 'Whipping Star' is the first full length novel set in the ConSentiency universe, established in his short stories 'A Matter of Traces' (1958) and 'The Tactful Saboteur' (1964).
