Shortcomings

First UK edition, first impression.  108pp, cartoon strips..  Pale green, decorated, cloth-covered boards with black and white lettering.  Golden, decorated endpapers.   8vo.  Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.  In its original illustrated dust wrapper, just a little bumped along extreme upper edge, not price clipped. Tomine UK debut, and his longest narrative to date, tells the tale of Ben and Miko and the tensions in their friendship and Ben moves away and leaves Miko lonely and obsessive.
