The Man Booker Prize, formerly known as just the Booker Prize, is recognised as the most prestigious literary award in the UK.

Established in 1969, it provides readers with the opportunity to review the year's best fiction. Often highly controversial, the prize attracts much media attention and high book sales. Many book collectors of modern fiction try to build a complete set of all shortlisted and winning titles.

A longlist is announced in Mid August followed by the shortlist in September and the final award in late October. The prize is given to the best novel in the English Language written by a Commonwealth or Irish citizen and published in the UK.
During its 35 years the prize has been won by some of the most famous contemporary writers such as Salman Rushdie, J M Coetzee, Peter Carey, Kazuo Ishiguro, Graham Swift, Pat Barker, A S Byatt, Michael Ondaatje, Iris Murdoch, VS Naipaul and Margaret Atwood. Only J M Coetzee and Peter Carey have won it twice. The winner in 2003 was D B C Pierre for 'Vernon God Little'.

Firsts in Print offers a wide range of Booker titles and would be pleased to help you fill the gaps in your collection.

Darkmans
by Nichola Barker


Published: 4th Estate, 2007

Fine in fine dustwrapper. An absolutely huge novel from this previously Booker longlisted author. A visionary novel, set in Ashford Kent where the past creeps upon the present. One to watch for the prizes later in the year. Booker shortlisted.

Price: £ 45.00

Darkmans


The Gathering
by Anne Enright


Published: Cape, 2007

Fine in fine dustwrapper. Winner of the 2007 Booker prize. Smallish print run makes this quite elusive especially since the Booker Award.

The Gathering


On Chesil Beach
by Ian McEwan


Published: Cape, 2007

Fine in fine dustwrapper. A honeymoon couple arrive at their Dorset hotel in 1962 and try to supress their private fears of the wedding night to come. Now into a fourth printing - these are, of course, true firsts. Booker shortlisted.

Price: £ 28.00

On Chesil Beach


On Chesil Beach
