Graham Swift LAST ORDERS First Edition Signed

First edition first print hardback of LAST ORDERS by Graham Swift and published by Picador in 1996. Signed by Swift on the title page. Full numberline is 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2. Winner of the Booker Prize in 1996. First state jacket with no mention of the prize.

The book is in near fine condition (brown cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which has no more than light creasing to the edges. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, Last Orders is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives.
