Seller's Description:
NF in NF jacket. Octavo. Bright red boards with shiny gilt lettering on the spine and front board and shiny gilt ornament on the front board. Light bumping at the head of the spine and a fair amount of bumping at the tail. Bright yellow endpapers. Binding is straight and tight. Pages are all clean, white, and crisp. 336 pages. Dust Jacket-has just a trace of rubbing at the head and tail of the spine and at the very tips of the two upper outside corners. The lower window on the front cover has two 1/3" closed tears in it, but has been corrected and is held into place by the dust jacket cover-clean enough that it may have gone unnoticed if not called out. Introduction by Binyavanga Wainaina, who calls the book "the finest novel written in English to come out of the African continent."
