Summary: Ruth Rendell's seventh collection of short stories also includes two unpublished novellas. The long title story is about a man whose life, in a sense, is a book. There are shelves in every room, packed with titles which Ambrose Ribbon has checked pedantically for mistakes of grammar and fact. Life for Ribbon is lonely and obsessive. Rendell has created an intriguingly diverse selection of tales, united by the customary dark vision of the author. The title story is shot through with elements of the macabre. Genre: Short fiction -- Mystery -- Suspense. 3 Kg.

A slight crease towards the top-left corner of the dust jacket, minor ghost indents across its covers, but in excellent condition overall, cover artwork and photographs bright and vibrant. Original hardback binding remains in mint condition. Minor browning across the text block, but otherwise clean with good page edges. Light pencil marks on the book's fly page (bookshop inventory notes), but pages throughout are tightly bound, clean and tidy. A first edition hardback signed by Ruth Rendell, highly collectible as a signed copy of this acclaimed short-story collection by one of Britain's most significant crime writers. Signed first printings in hardback are notably scarcer than unsigned editions, making this desirable to serious mystery and literary fiction collectors. This collection brings together a range of psychological thrillers and character-driven tales that showcase Rendell's mastery of suspense, moral complexity, and sharp observation. From gothic dread to quiet domestic unease, the stories probe human frailty and hidden tensions with deft control and narrative precision. Reflecting her range and depth as a storyteller, the book offers both unsettling twists and incisive portrayals of character, standing as a strong example of Rendell's enduring contribution to contemporary short fiction.
