Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. London: Hutchinson, [1993]. First edition, first printing, signed by the author to title page.

Sebastian Faulk's novel that spans three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the present.

Original publisher's green binding with some rubbing and bumping to extremities, as well as a small stain to front board and a light crease down the spine. Somewhat cocked example. Text block in good condition overall with very light marking and a couple of foxing spots. Author signature to title page; otherwise immaculate within with only a couple of handling marks (specifically to pages 12-13 and page 254 - please see photos). Otherwise content is clean, legible and the book is complete. Presenting very well in a good, unclipped dust wrapper [priced at £14.99] with bright panels and a very narrow strip of discolouration present to the left side of the front panel. Light chipping to head and base of the dust jacket with virtually no loss. Please note the light chipping has now been closed and reinforced with strong, acid-free non-yellowing, transparent document repair tape.
