Between the Covers

Hardcover. First American edition, published simultaneously with the British edition (the Australian edition wasn't published until 1962). Illustrated by the author. Faint paper remnants on the endpapers, else near fine, lacking the dustwrapper. A humorous novel about an Australian artist, living a carefree life on the beach, whose placid existence is interrupted by a model. Basis for an amusing 1969 film directed by Michael Powell and featuring James Mason and Helen Mirren. Very uncommon.
