IN THE WET by Nevil Shute Perma Books, First Paperback Printing, 1957 Condition: Very Good+ to Near Fine Set 30 years after the book's publication and describing the aftermath of a war not as devastating as the one depicted in the author's famous ON THE BEACH, this novel depicts our world as it might have been in the 1980s. A modest spine lean, light interior toning and a book store stamp on the front cover reverse, else an excellent, securely bound copy with no writing.
