About This Item
Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1952. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Fair. 850 g; 1140 pages, in original dark green boards with gilt titling on the front and spine panels. "I am working on the assumption that the majority of the readers of this book will be Britishers. And there are undoubtedly a number of his Yarm's -- it would be strange if it were not so -- in which the appeal is essentially more American than English. A gang to take a simple parallel. The best cricket story in the world is not likely to sell in America, and very few English publishers would tackle a book with baseball as its main theme. The stories of O. Henry's I have left out." -- page 9 the dust jacket has a number of short tears across both top and bottom, and some loss from chipping, and is price clipped. The book is clean without annotation. Size: 12mo (Small Hardcover). Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Fiction; Short Stories; Inventory No: 0285363. .
