Writer Alasdair Gray’s copy, apologetically inscribed to him by the author Nicholas Rankin who followed in the footsteps of author and travel writer Robert Louis Stevenson from Edinburgh to the Pacific islands of Hawaii and Samoa.

Very good paperback, covers bright, spine creased, edges lightly marked, text block browned but otherwise clean. Inscribed “20th September 1988 for Alasdair Gray who understands RLS well, with best wishes Nicholas Rankin. Sorry you’re misspelled in the index....”.

Provenance: from the Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray’s library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as ‘Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.’
