Description:
A First UK printing published by John Lehmann, London in 1951. The author's scarce second book. The Book is in near Fine condition. The boards are clean with just some light fading and pushing to the spine ends. There is some mild toning to the text block with light offsetting of the end-papers. The book is tight, clean and free from markings and erasures. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near FINE condition. It bears the correct price of 10s 6d. It has some very minor edge-wear with associated creasing and rubbing to the tips of the spine. The spine is slightly toned but this does not detract from the pictorial wrap around design. The rear panel has mild age related markings but less so than usually encountered. The wonderful period wrapper artwork is by the renowned artist John Minton and looks stunning in the Brodart protective cover. John Minton was commissioned to design the wrappers for both of Camberton's books. The book has been warmly inscribed and signed by the author on the upper front…

A Complete Set (6 Vols.) Of 'The True Account Of Great Events In Human Achievement' Series comprising 'Nuvolari And The Alfa Romeo', 'Richthofen The Red Baron', 'Lindbergh The Lone Flier', 'Jimmy Murphy And The White Duesenberg', 'First Up Everest', 'Shackleton's Epic Voyage'. All books are the First UK printings published by Hamish Hamilton, London between 1968 and 1969. The original wrappers are present for all six books and are protected in removable Brodart archival covers. The BOOKS are in VERY GOOD++ or better condition and are free from inscriptions and erasures. Some slight spotting to the prelims and extreme page edges in places to the 'Nuvolari' title. A production fault has resulted in a very slight protrusion of one of the gatherings to the 'Lindbergh' title. The 'First Up Everest' title has been Signed (without dedication) by Raymond Briggs to the title page. The WRAPPERS are all in Very Good++ condition. The 'Everest' title is neatly price-clipped. The price on the 'Duesenberg' title has been over written in pen '3/6'. A little edge-wear with some rubbing in places and to the folds in some titles. The scarce wrappers however, remain very striking in the Brodart archival covers. All six titles are profusely illustrated throughout in B/W and full colour by Raymond Briggs. An exceptionally scarce set with many of the individual titles rarely turning up on the open market, more-so with the original wrappers in such collectible condition. Most copies appear to have ended up in the library system. A highlight series from the creator of 'The Snowman' and only the second complete set we have handled to date. Collectible. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact .
