Australian first edition hardback, signed and dated by the author on the title page. Published by University of Queensland Press, 1982. Slipstream is a richly imagined Australian novel set against an industrial, wartime cityscape, blending social realism with historical and political themes. 8vo. Original illustrated boards (issued without a dust jacket).
Book is in very good condition overall: binding firm and square; pages clean and bright; no bookplates or additional markings observed beyond the author’s signature. There is very minor foxing along the top edge only, barely noticeable and not affecting the interior pages or readability.
Boards are clean and vibrant, with strong colour and sharp detail to the illustration. Corners and spine show only light, expected wear consistent with age. Presents very well on the shelf.
An attractive signed Australian first edition, suitable for collectors of Australian literature or Roger McDonald’s work.
