ASSET ID: [04-LIT-MS-9]
DIMENSIONS: Standard Mass Market Paperback (approx. 180 x 110 mm per volume).
MATERIALS: Paper, ink, original orange Penguin "Marber" era livery.
THE OBJECT: A comprehensive 9-volume collection of Muriel Spark titles recovered from a sagging bookshelf in the Benoni Sector 4 living room. Titles include: The Hothouse by the East River, The Bachelors, Do Not Disturb, The Public Image, Voices at Play, The Girls of Slender Means, The Comforters, and Robinson.
These editions feature the iconic 1960s/70s orange-grid design with era-defining illustrations by John Farman, Terence Greer, and others.
CONDITION: Stable/Read. Notable "Shelf-Wear" and minor tanning to the page edges, consistent with being stored in a room that briefly experienced a 15% drop in reality opacity. All spines are intact; the prose remains dangerously sharp.
SITE MANAGER’S NOTES: Muriel Spark was the only author who understood that life is a series of "unforeseen conditions." These books were found neatly arranged while the rest of the house was in a state of geological collapse. We suspect the original owner was using them as a grounding mechanism. It is a known fact in the Benoni district that reading The Comforters during a tremor reduces the risk of minor household objects disappearing by up to 22%.
