Heller, Joseph : Catch-22

Jonathan Cape, London, 1962

443 pages (complete). First British edition (no further printings listed). The second-state dustjacket (designed by the legendary Germano Facetti (whose redesign of Penguin paperbacks reverberates and are revered still)) has a clear cellophane protective cover. The rear of the dustjacket has four peer reviews (Nelson Algren, James Jones, Irwin Shaw, Kenneth Tynan) plus one from the New York Times. The dj is placid and contented. It has some wear, scuffing, marks. The price (21s.) has not been snipped. The dj is secure, sure. The red boards are neat. Gilt titling (still beaming) on the spine. They have very light shelving wear. The boards are serene, contented. The contents are agreeable. The papertrims have foxing : this has travelled over to the edges of some pages. In general, and by far, the contents are clean, clear, certain, confident, hale, fresh-faced, keen. fk. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
