Gate of Eden, The [first edition]

Green covers with black printing; corners rubbed and bottom back corner bent; slight edgewear. Illustrated dust jacket (Peter Bate) with black and white printing; small tear at top of spine and wear on corners and along edges. Neon green endpapers have discolored a bit. 196 pp., clean and bright. "The novelist's style is cinematic: long shots of English sea coast, moor and woodlands; quick cuts, echoes and superimpositions; flashes of apt dialogue that are often outrageously funny, more often cryptic and tense."
