The Lowlife

First edition. Publisher’s red cloth boards with gilt to spine. In dust jacket. Small brown stain to top-edge of text block. Dust jacket chipped and a little creased to edges and corners with minor loss to spine ends; closed tears along fold to upper panel neatly repaired with tape to reverse. Price to inner flap (16s. net) crossed out with blue biro. *** A scarce first printing of Alexander Baron’s best-known work. A cult classic described by Jon Savage as a literary antecedent of punk (in England’s Dreaming).
