Ishiguro, Kazuo (1989) ‘The Remains of the Day’, signed first edition

Condition: near fine. An unread copy. Clean throughout. A whiff of foxing to top page block edges and a little (minimal) shelf wear. Dust jacket is first state without the Booker flash, not faded on the spine with a little wear as pictured. A beautiful copy of the most defining if not best novel by the 2017 Nobel Prize winner.
