The Commitments. Dublin: King Farouk Publishing, 1987. First Edition. Pictorial stiff wrappers. Mild fading to covers, with light crease to upper wrapper; central hinge of binding tender, requiring careful handling when opening. Overall a nice copy of this fragile publication.

Inscribed by the Author on the half-title.

Doyle published this edition of 3000 copies himself of which only 800 were sold. It became a collector’s item after the success of the critically acclaimed movie by Alan Parker (released in 1991).
