The Leopard

Green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Previous owner’s name in blue ink to fep. Slight foxing to edges of text block and to a small number of leaves to front and rear of book. In slightly toned but bright Hans Tindall designed dust jacket with Book Society Choice and original price of 16s.net to flap. Some rubbing to spine ends and corners. Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun. *** A very good first printing of this Italian classic and international bestseller; the only novel by Di Lamedusa, who died a year before it was published in Italy (in 1958).
