"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

An Ice Cream War.
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1982. [Modern Literature] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (22 x 14cm), pp.[12] 370 [2]. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt titles to spine. With the dust-jacket illustrated by Paul Webb. Extensive black ink gift inscription to flyleaf, otherwise a crisp, clean copy with some spotting to top edge. Price-clipped jacket shows light handling only, with bright orange lettering to spine. Very good. Boyd's second novel, which was nominated for the Booker Prize. As millions are slaughtered on the Western Front, a ridiculous and little-reported campaign is being waged in East Africa - a war they continued after the Armistice because no one told them to stop.
