Wake In Fright. Kenneth Cook. 1st UK Edition. True First Printing. VERY rare

  

Wake in Fright by Kenneth Cook. First UK printing preceding all others. Ultra scarce 1961 Michael Joseph printing in VG/VG to add to your collection!

This is the author's first book and was the basis for the 1971 film of the same name (released in some countries as Outback) starring Donald Pleasance and Gary Bond, considered by many to be the greatest Australian film ever made. VG book shows offsetting to endpapers and some foxing throughout and at top page edges.

Sharp corners and taut binding. Slight upturn of front board. Overall a very nice book with a clean interior boasting no writing or bookplate. Scarce dust jacket in VG. Unobtrusive tape repair in 2 small spots to verso, moderate toning to spine with some nicks and perforations, foxing to rear panel.

A very very scarce book in the marketplace and will certainly increase in value as the true first printing. #wakeinfrihht #australia #outback #theoutback #bundanyabba #sydney #garybond #Australian #rarebooks #rarebook #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #books4ewe #yorksc #yorkvillesc #bookstagrammer #booklife #bibliophile #bibliophiles #read #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #bookstore #bookshop #booksofig #igbooks #igbookstagram #igbookshop.
