About This Item
London: Heinemann, 1951. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good.
The dust jacket is slightly faded. There are four half-inch or less tears where it bends around the spine, i.e. at top and bottom. There is one other quarter inch tear and it has been bumped, particularly at the top spine end and there are a couple of other minor folds or creases. The jacket says "6th impression". It is price clipped.
The book cover is in very good condition. The endpapers are browned and reflect the inside flaps of the dust jacket. There is a small pencilled annotation on top right hand corner of page three of cover ("27. 12. 51"). There is a very light oily stain spreading across the top third of page 11-12 and one associated pinhole. When closed the page tops appear somewhat dusty and the pages themselves are perhaps slightly though regularly yellowed.
First Edition. Very Good/Very Good.
