A near fine example of an early dust jacket illustrated by Edward Gorey. Contains publisher’s “Book for Review” card laid in, stating release date as “January 26, 1954.” In publisher’s dust jacket, $3.50 retail price on front flap, a touch of sunning to spine, faint soiling to back cover, faint discoloration to middle of spine. Small stain to front cover, light rubbing to corners, overall a very good example. Solid text block, bookplate of Christopher Clark Geest on front pastedown endpaper, along with occasional pencil annotations. Stated “First Edition” on copyright page. First American edition of Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis, with advance review card laid in.
