NEWBY, Percy Howard. Something to Answer For. London: Faber and Faber. 1968. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s orange cloth lettered in very dark blue to the spine, in the dust jacket. A very good or better copy, the cloth clean and bright, the spine tips and corners a trifle bumped, the binding tight and square. The contents clean and fine with small stain to the fore edge and even minor marks to top edge. The dust jacket price-clipped, very gently bumped to the spine corners and tips. A sharp example overall.
The little-read Newby’s seventeenth novel, immortalised by collectors having won the inaugural Booker Prize for 1969.
