Description

Offered here is a vintage 5th impression of Take A Girl Like You by acclaimed British author Kingsley Amis, published by Victor Gollancz Ltd. in the classic yellow jacket format. This edition retains its bold and instantly recognisable yellow dust jacket with striking magenta and black type — a hallmark of Gollancz design.

Originally published in 1960, Take A Girl Like You is one of Amis’s most celebrated comic novels, known for its razor-sharp wit, satirical exploration of social conventions, and richly drawn characters. This edition captures the era’s publishing charm and is perfect for both literary collectors and fans of mid-century modern British fiction.

The dust jacket features notable contemporary review quotes from Punch and Evening Standard, praising its humour and brilliance. The condition is good overall, with some light shelf wear and gentle fading in keeping with age.
