John Fowles - The Collector - Jonathan Cape, 1963, First Edition.

London, Jonathan Cape, 1963. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. The issue in orange boards (some were issued in black, in a very small number. No precedence has been established and thoughts vary from it being a trial or review binding, to the orange running out toward the end of the process). Some tears to the spine, particularly to both sides of the lower tip. Similar to the upper fold. Rear plate a touch soiled. Some foxing to the foreedge. [9269, Hyraxia Books].
