The Bricks that Built the Houses

White cloth boards with blind stamped lettering to spine. Illustrated endpapers. Edges blue. (Small patch of white to tail-edge where the dye has come off.) With attached ribbon bookmark. SIGNED by author to title page. In white variant dust jacket, very slightly curled to spine ends and creased to upper flap. *** Debut novel by the multi-talented writer and musician Kate (or Kae) Tempest. A literary crime thriller (a drugs heist) that also gives beautiful depiction of South-East London and the hipster art and drugs scene of the early 2010s. Staff recommendation! *** The first printing was issued in two different dust jackets, one with a white and one with a black background. Our copy is an exclusive signed first edition in the white variant dust jacket and with blue sprayed edges and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.
