SWIFT, Graham. The Sweet Shop Owner. London: Allen Lane. 1980. 8vo. First edition, first printing. Publisher’s dark brown cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. This copy signed without dedication by the author to the title page. A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, just a trifle bumped at tips, the binding tight and perhaps a trifle rolled. The title page very slightly pulled at gutter at top edge, but minor, and the contents fine overall. The dust jacket unclipped, complete and fine but for a little fading to the spine panel.
The author’s debut novel about the final day in the life of the eponymous sweet shop owner, told variably through internal monologue. Uncommon signed.
