London, William Heinemann Ltd., 1944
A superior copy the preferred British edition of one of the the author's true masterpieces. A brilliant novel which I have heard cited by some as a major influence on what became Beat literature. Whether on not that is a defensible position, The Razor's Edge is one of those life-changing reads and copies of the UK edition in collectable shape are not so very common.
First UK edition, first impression; small 8vo; publisher's blue cloth, titles to upper board and spine gilt, dust-jacket, slightly marked dust jacket, with a number of tears and some tape stains to the verso.
