About This Item
Faber & Faber, London, 1953. Second Impression. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Various. 300 g; 176 pages, including 14 charts for selecting games. Illustrated dustwrapper over orange cloth boards. Apart from a slight dustiness to the top edge of the text block the book is in very good order. The dust jacket is gently rubbed at the top of the spine with a trace of fraying. The lower corner of the dust jacket has been clipped even though there is a publisher's printed price adjacent. My guess is that they have used the first edition dust jacket and repriced it, so, as such this is not a damaged dust jacket. 162 games, hunts and tricks -- There is a variety of simple or ingenious, quiet or active, long or short, sober or foolish games, and a final chapter gives hints of entertaining large groups -- in clubs, for example -- front fold over blurb, Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. We are happy to provide pictures of this book on request Illustrator: Various. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Sociology & Culture; Anthropology; Sport; Sociology; Hobbies. Inventory No: 0222665. .
