242pp. Two small price stickers on rear cover, otherwise a very good, clean, bright, tight copy, signed by D.M.Thomas on the title page: "For Inara Thank you for your fine writing DM Thomas November 97" "" Thomas has fixed his penetyrating gazer on America's deepest public shame and created a haunting, caustic novel about the (Kennedy) assasination --- his portrayal of our mass psyche rings ultimately true."
