Product Information: - Title of Product: The Price of Salt, or Carol [Royal Edition] Author: Highsmith, Patricia Number of Pages: 304 Publication Year: 2004 Language: English Book Synopsis: - Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century. First published in 1952 and touted as "the novel of a love that society forbids," the book soon became a cult classic.Based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life, The Price of Salt (or Carol) tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany--the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. Therese begins to gravitate toward the alluring suburban housewife, who is trapped in a marriage as stultifying as Therese's job. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation. The Price of Salt is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans and will delight those discovering her work. With an autobiographical Afterword by the author, "The Price of Salt" is now recognized as a masterwork, the scandalous novel that anticipated Nabokov's "Lolita."

  1. This is a beautiful, high-quality bound book. It is a trade paperback in terms of the paper stock, but the work they have done on it makes the final product truly special. It arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. The seller was particularly attentive and supportive, ensuring the book could be delivered even after some difficulty due to my own work scheduling.

  2. I've ordered from this seller before, and would definitely consider doing so again. If you're looking for a hard to find or out-of-print title in hardback, then they are a very good option. The books look nice, exactly as in the illustrative photos, and you can choose from a range of options for the binding. They look very nice on the shelf. Considering the distance they travel, they arrive quickly, and are well packaged. No complaints whatsoever!
