THE SIEGE OF KRISHNAPUR

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the Rod Josey designed dustwrapper (the illustration courtesy of the National Army Museum). A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the spine tips and corners, a production crease to the outer covering of the upper board, the boards and gilt bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased, price-clipped dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears at the upper spine folds.

The second novel in Farrell's 'Empire' trilogy, following 'Troubles' (1970) and preceding 'The Singapore Grip' (1978). Winner of the 1973 Booker Prize.
