Novels and novelists: a guide to the world of fiction - Martin Seymour-Smith

Novels and Novelists: A Guide to the World of Fiction, edited by Martin Seymour-Smith, was first published in Great Britain in 1980 by WHS Distributors for Windward. This is a hardback edition in its illustrated dust jacket.

The book is a reference guide covering the history and development of the novel, with sections on crime and science fiction, approaches to the novel, an alphabetical guide to novelists, fiction and illustration, the novel and cinema, and the novel and the book trade. Internal pages shown include an entry spread featuring Ernest Hemingway, Hermann Hesse and others, with black and white photographs and text set on white paper.

The dust jacket shows wear to the spine ends and edges, with some rubbing and fading to the yellow ground. The title page carries a handwritten inscription reading "Vienna c.e.c.s. '84". The copyright page is clean and legible, giving full publication details.
