First hardcover edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the photo illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, toned to the poor quality paper stock are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£8.95 net to the lower front flap).
Signed by Jeanette Winterson in blue ink on the title page. The first edition in hardcover of the the author's 1985 Whitbread Prize winning semi-autobiographical debut novel. This edition was issued in the same year as the hit BBC television adaptation directed by Beeban Kidron and starring Charlotte Coleman and Geraldine McEwan. First published as a paperback original, the Pandora Press hardcover is very scarce on account of the Guild Publishing book-club edition being published under licence the same year.
