GRASS, Gunter. The Tin Drum
GRASS, Gunter. The Tin Drum. London: Secker and Warburg. 1962. 8vo. First British edition. Trans. from the German by Ralph Manheim. Publisher's grey cloth lettered in red and silver to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by the author. A very good or better copy, the cloth clean and the binding tight and square, the topstain vivid, with some light foxing to the bottom- and fore-edge. Contemporary ink ownership inscription to the front endpaper, with some foxing to endpapers and prelims, else fine. The dust jacket rather remarkably vivid, unclipped (30s net) and complete, with one or two very minor marks and some very mild toning, a trifle kinked at extremities, but very well-preserved indeed.
The author's first book and his most famous, usually appearing on any list of important postwar works of fiction.
