THE VIRGIN SUICIDES

First UK edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original black cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Garner Russell designed dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding firm with some bumping to the extremities, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is creased at the edges and otherwise without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£15.99 net to the lower front flap).

Signed by Jeffrey Eugenides in black ink on the title page, uncommon thus. The author's first novel. The basis for Sofia Coppola's 1999 feature directorial debut, starring Kirsten Dunst, James Woods, Kathleen Turner and Josh Hartnett.
