ACKROYD, Peter. Hawksmoor. London: Hamish Hamilton. 1985. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s dark grey cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. This copy inscribed by the author to the title page. An excellent copy overall, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square. The contents clean, slightly toned throughout from the paper quality. The gutter just slightly separated at p. 217, but minor. The dust jacket unclipped and complete, and fine.
The author’s third and arguably most famous work, a novel of detection and revelation set in the eighteenth century and the twenty-first.
