"As stark as a police report, this novel opens with the confession of a young suburban clerk who has kidnapped an art student from outside her home in Hampstead. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Reg Gadney with my best wishes John Fowles Lyme Regis 14/3/99" loosely inserted the printed programme, single sheet folded, for the Bush Theatre Club's production of The Collector. Faint spots to fore-edge and endpapers, dustwrapper spotted at flaps, lower cover panel rather dusty, with mild fraying at head of spine and a tiny tear (minimal loss) at head of front flap. Rust brown cloth (the ordinary issue - copies were issued too in black cloth, precedence indeterminate, and not nearly as uncommon thus as some dealers hope) (Tom Adams) dustwrapper.
