One of his most iconic novels, this first edition copy of Brighton Rock by Graham Green is a perfect collector’s piece or gift for any fan.
Brighton Rock is a murder-slash-thriller book set in, as the name suggests, Brighton, in the 1930s. The story is very famous and has been adapted into a film, stage play, and a musical!
The first edition hardback which we are selling was published in 1938 by William Heinemann. The pages themselves are slightly aged, and there is some sign of foxing around the edges, but this is minimal. The stand-out red cloth cover shows signs of wear, but the book is in good condition overall.
Our edition of Brighton Rock is an iconic story, that comes with the notoriety of being a first edition of one of the most celebrated authors of the 20th century. It is being sold for £450.
