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

First UK edition. Signed and inscribed by author. Hardback with original dust jacket. Octavo (220 x 140 x 25 mm). Pp. 243. English text. Publisher's original red covers with gilt titles to spine. Top page edges tinted black. Endpapers black. Half-titles present. Nicely signed and inscribed by Leonard Cohen to the half-title. Present in the original and complete dust jacket. Condition: VERY GOOD. Covers and contents clean. Very faint tape residue to free endpapers. Dust jacket with a very short closed tear at foot of rear panel and a small nick at head of front panel. Scarce thus.

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).
