Pigeon English (PROOF COPY)

Printed wrappers. Uncorrected proof. SIGNED by the author to title page. Appears unread. *** Rare proof copy of Kelman’s debut novel, published before the cover art had been finalised. The colophon mentions an ISBN for a hardback edition, but the hardback never materialised. (It was published as a paperback original.) Expectations for this novel might have been low, but sales got a real boost when the book was shortlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize.
