The First UK printing published by Picador, London in 1999. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Light pushing at the spine tips and a hint of toning to the text-block. Internally clean. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The two authors have undertaken a wide-ranging survey of 50 years of fiction and provided a brief commentary on each of the 200 novels selected. The book has been signed (without dedication) by both authors to the title page. Additionally the book has been signed by 57 other authors at their contribution : 46 signatures are flat-signed and the remaining 11 are on tipped-in signed bookplates (Don DeLillo has signed an event ticket). The signatures include 4 Nobel Laureates and 14 Book Prize winners. The flat-signed author signatures are : Edmund White, Jeanette Winterson, Tom Winton, Alice Walker, Tobias Wolff, Donna Tartt, William Trevor, Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Beryl Bainbridge, John Banville, Pat Barker, A S Byatt, Jonathan Coe, J M Coetzee, Jim Crace, Louis de Bernieres, Anita Desai, Roddy Doyle, Margaret Drabble, Bret Easton Ellis, Jeffrey Eugenides, Richard Ford, Frederick Forsyth, Nadine Gordimer, Alan Hollinghurst, Kazuo Ishiguro, P D James, Ruth Rendell, James Kelman, Fay Weldon, Irvine Welsh, Thomas Keneally, Doris Lessing, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, John McGahern, Patrick McGrath, Edna O'Brien, Anne Rice, Salman Rushdie, Will Self, Iain Sinclair, Jane Smiley, Graham Swift and Amy Tan.
