About This Item
Hamish Hamilton, 1962 VG/Good+. dj is rubbed to most edges with some chipping. rear cream panel shows a tad grubby with some tarnish points - but not unsightly. hardback covers which are clean and sharp-cornered. slight speckling to top edge of textblock. All pages are present, and the binding is tight and solid. no inscriptions or marginalia. 1st edition. From the book's fly leaf "Not for a long time, we believe, has such a brilliant and compellingly readable collection of stories appeared as Peter Green's Habeas Corpus. The eight stories which the well-known novelist and critic has assembled here range over such varied subjects as the disastrous effects of a lost passport, the idiosyncrasies of an expert of Greek dialects, a visit to a haunted rectory, and the mouvemente evening of a Great Lady of the entertainment world on a Burma airfield."
