The Caretaker: A Play in Three Acts

London: Encore Publishing Co. Ltd, 1960. Very Good. London: Encore Publishing Co. Ltd., 1960. First Edition. Slim octavo; publisher's black staplebound card wrappers lettered in white; [2],61pp. Moderate wear to wrapper margins, especially along spine fold, white upper cover lettering and rear wrapper rather toned, the latter also somewhat soiled with faint evidence of removed strip of tape along spine; overall a Very Good, sound copy.

With the inaugural production running at the Duchess Theatre for 444 performances, The Caretaker proved to be Nobel laureate Harold Pinter's first commercial as well as critical success, favorably compared to Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
