On Beauty by Zadie Smith, a first edition novel published by The Penguin Press in 2005. This hardcover edition features a striking red cloth spine with gold gilt lettering and includes the original dust jacket. A multi-generational story set in New England and London, it explores themes of family, academia, and cultural identity. The book shows some light shelf wear to the dust jacket edges and minor tanning to the page edges, but remains a solid, readable copy of this acclaimed work by the author of White Teeth.
