True first edition of one of the All Time Top Five books about failing record shop owners.
Near fine in a near fine jacket.
Price: $125.00
"Is it possible to share your life with someone whose record collection is incompatible with your own?"
Basis for the equally fine movie starring John Cusack and Jack Black, and second of Hornby's unofficial trilogy of novels (along with FEVER PITCH and ABOUT A BOY) which investigate the realm of the Peter-Pan-burdened male psyche. This perhaps the best, and certainly most popular, of the three.

In original price-clipped blue dust jacket designed by Adrian Sensicle of MOLE design. 254, [2] pages. Touches of rubbing to jacket. Some faint foxing to verso, unobtrusive.
