Masters of Modern British Fiction

The book shows signs of age and use, with wear along the edges and corners of the cover. The pages are yellowed, typical for its publication year, and there is a personal inscription on the front endpaper. The spine is intact, and the binding holds firm, though the absence of a dust jacket leaves the cover exposed to further wear.
