The First UK printing published by Secker & Warburg, London in 1994. 8vo., black publisher's boards, backstrip lettered in gilt; housed in the original unclipped pictorial wrapper (£14.99) by Colum Leith; with a black and white photograph of the author to the lower panel by Douglas Robertson; black endpapers; THE BOOK near Fine, lightly bumped to the upper corners; light toning to the page edges due to the quality of the paper stock used ; The WRAPPER near Fine and is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. This copy has been signed (without dedication) by the author to the title page. Complete with a 1994 Booker Prize Shortlist Bookmark loosely inserted. Kelman's 1994 Booker Prize winning book is set in Glasgow, and follows an ex-convict, Sammy, as he wakes from a two-day binge and attempts to retrace his movements, which include beatings, blindness, nameless crimes and the disappearance of his girlfriend. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style in an uncensored Scottish dialect, the novel is a masterpiece of irony and black humour, and certainly controversial. While many praised the book for its bold and unapologetic style, one Booker Prize judge threatened to resign, calling the book 'deeply inaccessible' a 'disgrace' and 'frankly.crap'. The Times also referred to it as an act of "literary vandalism". In his acceptance speech, Kelman responded directly to the comments, stating that "A fine line can exist between elitism and racism.on matters concerning language and culture, the distinction can sometimes cease to exist altogether." He was the first Scottish writer to win the award. Scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

A very smart first edition, first impression of this fascinating feminist exploration of the British justice system from Scottish barrister Helena Kennedy, signed in presentation to Carmen Callil. First edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the half-title with an inscription that reads: "To Carmen, my wise counsel, my mentor, my cherished friend. With so much love and gratitude. H. Kennedy" In presentation to Carmen Callil, an Australian publisher who founded Virago Press in 1973, to "publish books which celebrated women and women's lives, and which would, by so doing, spread the message of women's liberation to the whole population". Virago publish works by new and neglected female authors, publishing the works by authors such as Daphne du Maurier, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Margaret Atwood, and Angela Carter, all with a distinctive green spine synonymous with Virago. Following on from her previous work 'Eve Was Framed' (1992), Kennedy produces an urgent, authoritative and deeply shocking look at British justice written in the wake of the #MeToo movement. This work forensically examines the pressing evidence that women are still being discriminated against throughout the legal system, holding up a mirror to contemporary society. Written by Helena Ann Kennedy, Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws, a Scottish barrister, broadcaster, and Labour member of the House of Lords. She is a Bencher of Gray's Inn, an Honorary Writer to the Signet and the recipient of forty-two Honorary Degrees from universities including those of Glasgow and Edinburgh in recognition of work on women and the law and on widening participation in higher education. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Fine
