First UK edition, first printing of Ratman's Notebooks by Stephen Gilbert. The novel was adapted as the 1971 horror film Willard, followed by the film sequel Ben.
Bound in the publisher’s black cloth with gilt spine titles. An uncommon book and a pleasing copy.
Book condition: Very Good. Square and tight, with reasonably sharp corners and very minor creasing to the spine tips. Some offsetting from the dust jacket flap to the front endpaper and pastedown, and a hint of spotting to the top edge; the pages are unaffected. No previous owner names or library markings.
Dust jacket condition: Near Fine. Bright, unclipped and unfaded, with some tanning at the top edges of the flaps and rear panel. No nicks, tears or loss.
