first edition
1955 · New York
by GOLDING, William
New York: Coward-McCann, 1955. First U.S. edition and first printing. Hardcover. 243 pages. Golding's masterpiece and one of the more important novels of the 20th century. A very good copy in paper covered boards with a cloth spine with some of the usual sunning to the edges of the boards and in a very good plus dust jacket with some minor wear and some very faint tape shadows to the flaps from a vintage dust jacket protector. A pleasing copy of this classic. (Inventory #: 198902)
