This Month's Featured Book:
Sebald, W. G. AUSTERLITZ.
London: Hamish Hamilton, 2001. UNCORRECTED BOOK PROOF. The author's very rarest issue state. This is the highly desirable SIGNED LIMITED EDITION format, released in pictorial hardcover boards (no jacket was issued), and numbered from a very exclusive run of only 100 copies. Signed in black ink, this lovely rarity will always be tinged with a pathos as shortly afterwards the writer was to die in a car accident. A FINE, unread and superb copy. Though a handful of signed 1sts of the standard trade hardcover tend to surface fairly often, this 100-run signed limited proof issue has long remained stubbornly scarce. A worthy Sebald highlight of what many consider his greatest work. £970
