BEAUTIFUL LOSERS BY LEONARD COHEN 1970 FIRST UK EDITION

[COHEN, LEONARD]. Beautiful Losers. London: Jonathan Cape, 1970.

FIRST UK EDITION. Hardcover with dust jacket, octavo (22 x 14 x 25 cm), pp. 243. English text. Publisher's original red covers with gilt titles to spine, top page edges tinted black, endpapers black, half-title. Condition: GOOD. Covers and contents clean very well-preserved. Dust jacket somewhat worn, with taped repairs to tears and edge wear. Without previous ownership markings.

Notes: Though its original publication preceded Cohen's career as a musician, this edition follows his emergence as a songwriter - a factor which probably swelled the readership for what is a difficult, though impressive, novel (the author's second and last).
