The Golden Notebook SIGNED IN PUBLICATION YEAR

Very good first edition of Lessing's masterpiece, in black boards with bright gilt lettering, light bumps to corners and speckling to edges of text block. Lessing has signed and dated the book on the front flyleaf: ‘Doris Lessing 23rd May 1962’ - her addition of a date is often found in signed copies of The Golden Notebook from the year of publication. A good dustjacket with a small chip at the head of the spine and a chip close to the spine on the front panel of the jacket. A little speckling to the jacket which retains its striking design typographic design and Doris Lessing's portrait on the rear panel.
