Book Description: Predicament by Ronald Hugh Morrieson Dunmore Press (1974), Palmerston North, 1974. Hard cover Book Condition: Fair. First Edition. Dust jacket intact but worn at edges and corners. 248 pages. With a preface by Maurice Shadbolt. Press praise from Shadbolt, Frank Sargeson and C.K. Stead on the back cover. This original hardback edition is very hard to track down, hence the price even though the condition is not perfect. Dunmore Press must have done a very short run of hardbacks (as they also did for Pallet on the Floor). No copies are listed on Abebooks, Ebay or Amazon.
