Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good- dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Charles Gorham (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [very light foxing to top edge, otherwise a nice fresh copy with no significant wear; jacket has one tiny chip at top of front panel, also torn with a bit of paper loss at top rear hinge and bottom front hinge, one additional small closed tear at top of rear panel, minor edgewear elsewhere]. Early novel by Burgess, the first of two published under this pseudonym. Satirical novel about a young married couple, "the husband having a sort of brain good an winning quizzes, so he wins The Big Money on a TV quiz and then puts the money on horses and he becomes a rich man. And so then they have the best of everything, like a mink for her and staying at posh hotels [etc.] . but there's always been something niggling in him all the about the world being a rotten place and not even money can buy anything to make the world a less rotten place and so he suggests that they do themselves in." Burgess supposedly limited the novel's vocabulary to just 800 words, part of his message about the dumbing-down of modern media culture -- but he made up for this atypical restraint with "A Clockwork Orange," published the following year. It was reported well over a decade ago that Francis Coppola had acquired the movie rights, but that would seem to have gone into deep turnaround. NOISBN.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 205 p. 19 cm. Orange cloth in mylar-covered blue dustjacket. Jacket has chipped spine ends, small tears to edges. Front flap price-clipped. This novel was intended as an indictment of what Burgess saw as the degradation of contemporary Western education and culture. He deliberately toned down his trademark love of vocabulary for the story, and the entire vocabulary in One Hand Clapping amounts to approximately 800 words. A strange tale by one of the strangest of English authors.

A literary oddity if ever there was one. Inside Mr Enderby is one of two books published under the pseudonym Joseph Kell, on account of the fact that Burgess had written so many novels in a condensed period following a terminal cancer diagnosis (which turned out to not exist) that the publisher asked him to create a separate pseudonym lest readers questioned the quality of so great an output. To make matters more peculiar, this copy is entirely blank, it being merely a dummy, but even so, it was sent out for review to the author Julian Mitchell. Though, tragically, his review of this blank work was never written.
