The Act of Love

London: Jonathan Cape. 2008, 1st Edition. Hardcover. First Printing. SIGNED/DATED & LOCATED BY THE AUTHOR AT THE TITLE PAGE. As New in dustjacket, a flawless copy. Signed by Howard Jacobson for us in person in 2008 at the Edinburgh Book Festival. An early title by the Booker-Prize winner and quite scarce signed. Some dustmarking to the edges but VG condition without previous owner names etc. Gently pushed at the spine ends but otherwise quite sound structurally speaking apart from the merest hint of a lean. A nice copy. The dustjacket is in excellent shape and would be Fine except for a production fault which has resulted in some ridging where the laminate looks like it is cracked along or across the surface - 2 such lines at the rear panel and one at the front. Unclipped with price of £8.95 at the flap. New/As New. Signed by Author(s).

Mint condition. Bloomsbury, 2010. First UK edition-6th printing(10 9 8 7 6). Blue hardback(gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(two small nicks on the edges of the Dj cover), both in mint condition. The book is new. 307pp. Price un-clipped. This is another paragraph Product Description: 'He should have seen it coming. His life had been one mishap after another. So he should have been prepared for this one. ' - Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik, a Czech always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results. Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an honorary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment. It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost; a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. Better, perhaps, to go through life without knowing happiness at all because that way you have less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears enough for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses. And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30 pm, as Treslove, walking home, hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country, that he is attacked. And after this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change. The Finkler Question is a scorching story of friendship and loss, exclusion and belonging, and of the wisdom and humanity of maturity. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary novel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best. New/New. ISBN: 9781408808870
