John Fowles - Collection of First Editions
Including Several Signed By Author
-
This lot consists of my collection of the compl89/ete works of John Fowles, including both the original and the revised editions of The Magus.
All are British or American/Canadian first editions (one only fourth printing) and several are signed by the author.
All are in excellent condition, with undamaged dust jackets and most with a protective clear cover over the jacket.
Also included is the issue of "Firsts' magazine with articles on Fowles, his books and collecting them.
In addition, there is included a 54 minute DVD-R documentary on Fowles, entitled Return of the Magus.
This is my own personal collection. I am selling it only because my wife is pressing me to reduce my library before I die and leave her with the job.
The specifics of the books are below. Please see the photos for details.
I am happy to take and make available more photos for serious inquirers.
