The Sweet Dove Died by Barbara Pym. 1980 Perennial Edition, later printing. Shelf wear to cover, chip on back (see photo) pages tanned, book in good condition. Some argue this novel of unrequited love is on of Pym's best.

"He had no interest in books and had spent the time idly watching the dealers, hunched over the table in their shabby clothes, making their bids with raised eyebrows or scarcely perceptible movements of hands or catalogues."
