About This Item
London: Herbert Jenkins Limited, 1940 A very good to near fine copy in very good to near fine wrap. The orange cloth binding with black lettering is tight and sound. The cloth has some light colour variation and there is a faded patch at the bottom of the spine which corresponds with loss in the wrapper. Light wear at edges and corners and spine ends - which are both faded at their outer edge. Contents very clean and sound with some browning at the free endpapers, and the occasional small mark in margins. Light spotting at the foredge. 4 pages of adverts at the rear. Small neat signature with August 1940 date to front free endpaper. The jacket by Fenwick has 7/6 on the spine and is complete and clean without price clip. It has a small area of loss at the bottom of the spine and an old repair to the back panel at the bottom edge where it folds to the flap. There is some light edge nibbling at the folds. The jacket is in a removable protective wrap.
