About This Item
Duncton Wood first book of the Duncton series (somewhat similar to Watership Down by Richard Adams) by William Horwood Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Country Life Books UK with stunning wrap-around dust jacket art by Douglas Hill. It's been described as Lord of the Rings meets Watership Down.
Fine- in Near Fine Dust Jacket. A good clean copy overall, book itself is quite nice with straight corners and clean boards, just a hint of very light spotting to the top of the text-block otherwise would be fine. The dust jacket is mostly bright and clean, nicks to corners, some edge-wear to heel and back bottom edge, and a closed tear to bottom front left-hand corner which has been repaired with professional adhesive. Still a relatively nice copy of a fairly uncommon book in the first edition. Later published in the US by McGraw-Hill with much less remarkable dust jacket art and is much more common. Perfect copies tend to be priced at $200+.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
