London, Secker & Warburg, (1993). The uncorrected proof copy of his first novel, highly acclaimed upon publication and later the basis for the phenomenally successful movie that became a cultural milestone of the 1990s. The first edition of this book is scarce -- preceding the movie and its associated cultural uproar by a couple of years, it was issued in a hardcover edition reported at only 600 copies; the proof, needless to say, is many times scarcer; we have seen it only a handful of times. This copy is signed by Welsh. Shallow corner creases; almost fine in wrappers. [#911191] $4,500
