The Third Policeman. London: Macgibbon & Kee, 1967. First Edition. Pp, 200. A nice clean copy with no inscriptions, with some bumping to base of front board. Illustrated dust jacket (not price-clipped) but with some tears to top of rear of dust jacket and some loss to tip and tail of spine.

Voted novel of the year, it received rave reviews as a ‘triumph of a book’ and ‘The magical stimulation of this superbly alert humor, delivered in a prose style of wonderful clarity and full of charm.’ The Observer commented ‘I think, even with Ulysses and Finnegans Wake behind him, James Joyce might have been envious!’
