The book remains securely bound with tight, square hinges and shows minimal shelf-wear to the board extremities, save for a very slight pushing to the spine head. The text block edges display only a faint degree of age-toning common to the paper stock of this era, remaining entirely free from foxing. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely devoid of any previous ownership inscriptions or internal markings. The unclipped dust jacket is vibrant and striking, having successfully avoided the sun-fading typical to red spines, and presents only microscopic ruffling along the extreme upper edge. The original wrap-around 'SIGNED' band is fully intact and well-preserved, complementing the original 'A Signed Copy From LEAR'S' sticker on the front panel, which adds a charming layer of local provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a true First Edition of Caitlin Thomas's uncompromising memoir.

Adding further appeal for collectors of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas is the presence of the original publisher’s fragile wrap-around 'SIGNED' band and a promotional sticker from Lear’s, the historic and much-loved Cardiff bookshop, offering a superb piece of contemporary Welsh bookselling provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eSigned copies retaining both the intact band and the original bookshop sticker are uncommon on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eCaitlin: A Warring Absence\u003c\/i\u003e offers a remarkably candid, visceral, and unapologetic account of life with the legendary Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Penned by his widow, Caitlin, with the assistance of George Tremlett, the memoir cuts through the romanticised mythos of the bohemian poet to expose the chaotic, passionate, and often destructive reality of their marriage. From their intense romance and crippling financial debts to their battles with alcoholism, infidelity, and the suffocating pressures of fame, Caitlin's narrative is a fierce, unforgettable portrait of two brilliant but deeply flawed individuals bound by a tumultuous love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55799485890899,"sku":"6858","price":33.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261102_123438_352b73d4-c60e-4898-8904-dbba82cad2b3.jpg?v=1794221729","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/caitlin-a-warring-absence-caitlin-thomas-and-george-tremlett","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
