Managed by David, a holder of a Masters degree in Modern Fiction from the UEA, and published author by Nightjar Press. A small, boutique business with an enviable client base. As long-established specialist sellers, we never stock any first edition that is devalued by serious flaws such as price-clipping, dedications, remainder dots, or owner markings, etc. All our stock is fully guaranteed as authentic, a sample of which is presented here on this website. As befits a rare book, all dust-wrappers are housed within transparent, removable protectors. Offered by D B WATERS RARE BOOKS: Professional, full-time booksellers of fine, select 1st editions, established in 1998. From nostalgic memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. The eight masterly stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. The postcard set, too, is immaculate, and retains the wraparound band, as issued. Complete with the exclusive, promotional postcard set that contains nine of Murakami's UK book covers, each showcasing the iconic designs by Suzanne Dean, Creative Director at Vintage.
Very Fine in dust-wrapper, a carefully inspected copy to ensure utterly detraction free. A beautifully executed example of Murakami's valuable signature (all the more special for deviating from the usual bookplate on this occasion), and signed in blue fountain pen ink. One of a small number of signed copies distributed to independent bookstores within the UK. An instantly desirable rarity indeed, and an unusually strong example of a late Murakami highlight.
