Collecting tips:

Her 1983 Booker Prize winner the The Bone People is the franchise here. Originally published by Spiral in New Zealand, this was originally issued in soft covers, and is exceptionally uncommon, and rare in fine condition. We used to have scouts in New Zealand sell us the odd copy, but they've wised up. The first British edition, issued in hardcover, satisfies most collectors.more
