Forster's copy, with his book-label on front free endpaper, original cloth, fine, custom-made drop-back box, 8vo, 1954. *** A superb association copy, Forster was integral in bringing the book to publication and "Forster's Choice" would appear on the publisher's wraparound band for the book. Forster was an early supporter of the book when first published in 1954 and talked Faber into taking on the unknown writer at the time. It was slow to sell, but with Forster's naming it 'outstanding novel of the year', the book has since gone on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide. He later wrote the introduction to the 1962 edition, which led to correspondence and an ensuing friendship between the two authors.

Golding and Melchett had a lengthy friendship, Sinclair would later state that knowing Golding had been his greatest inspiration and privilege. Association copies of Golding's works are rare. "William Golding was the only writer I have ever pursued. An Angry Young novel I wrote in three weeks when up at Cambridge, The Breaking of Bumbo, outsold Lord of the Flies that year for Faber & Faber. This was ludicrous, but it was followed by Golding's kindness when I wrote to him. He sent me an open invitation to visit him by the watercress beds at Bowerchalke." - Andrew Sinclair.

This copy was signed during a visit by Golding to see Forster at Cambridge to thank him for his favourable review. Forster asked Golding to sign the books he owned and as neither writer had a pen the writers borrowed the cha lady's pencil.
