Hardcover fourth impression October 1960, published by Collins and Harvill Press. The clipped jacket has only a few minor tears and scrpaes to the edges, and creasing and rubbing on the folds. The boards are clean and square with only a few minor bumps visible. All pages are clean and unmarked. "The author of this novel, the Prince of Lampedusa, head of a noble Sicilian house, meditated it for twenty-five years, wrote it in less than one and died not long afterwards having been given to believe by high professional opinion that it was not publishable. Eighteen months later it had become a sensational best-seller in Italy and has been almost universally acknowledged as a masterpiece, an addition to the canon of European literature."
