Offered is a 1998 US-published First Edition of the British author, Nick Hornby's second novel, About A Boy.
"About a Boy is... about the unlikely friendship between Will Freeman, a wealthy, child-free 36-year-old man, and Marcus Brewer, a socially awkward 12-year-old boy, whose lives become intertwined through Marcus's single mother, Fiona. The story follows Will's cynical, "island" lifestyle and his scheme to meet single mothers by pretending to have a son, which leads him to Marcus, forcing both characters to confront their immaturity and form a genuine bond. The book is known for its witty, pop-culture-infused take on modern relationships, masculinity, and fatherhood, and was adapted into a popular 2002 film and a 2014 TV series."
