About This Item
Edinburgh: Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd, 1951. First Edition, Fifth Printing. Hardcover in red cloth. Very Good/Good. Bentley, Nicolas. This book is great fun, especially if you appreciate stuffy English humor. The lessons learned from the trials of Lords and Ladies, etc.
A good copy for reading or collecting, the book is in very good condition, though toned and shelf-worn. Page 43 is torn. Book is otherwise complete and square, with a good tight binding and its original paper dust jacket, a rarity, and though soiled and torn, the jacket is now well-protected in a new Bordart cover.
