Futures: How to survive life after thirty



Book Description
FIRST EDITION, WITH AUTHORIAL INSCRIPTION. Large 8vo. Original line drawings by M. Ricketts. Bright red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Marbled endpapers. Gentlest pushing to spine ends, gilt a trifle rubbed, fabulously flamboyant inscription in black pen to title page: “For Phill —/ who never has been thirty/ and never will be thirty —/ Big kiss and thank you/ Shirley Conran”. Else, bright and tidy. In the vibrant red dust jacket, lettered dramatically in gilt and white: spine sunned, a little rubbing to gilt on front panel, nick in laminate at top front corner, flaps a little toned. Still, a sharp copy of Conran and Sidney’s post-thirty self-help guide.
