First edition. 8vo. 188pp. Blue boards lettered in gold at the spine. A virtually fine copy in dust wrapper, a little faded at the spine panel and with a touch of spotting to the flaps. 'Saintly Bill. A Catholic Boyhood' (1988). First edition. 8vo. 219pp. Blue cloth lettered in gold at the spine. Top edge quite lightly spotted. A very good copy in dust wrapper, with some fading to the spine panel lettering. A very nice set of the author's first two volumes of memoirs (a third volume followed in 1995, detailing his Bolton childhood). Naughton is probably best remember for his 1963 stage play 'Alfie', which became the basis for the 1966 Michael Caine classic.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good
