About This Item

An excellent (and thus rare) hardback with DJ copy of British author and journalist Daniel Farson's classic book on ghosts aimed originally at older children and young adults. As such, many copies are in average or poor condition due to the amount of re reading at young hands, but not this one! The book covers a great range of ghostly themes, both 'factual' and fictional. These include haunted houses, poltergeists, ghosts at sea, animal ghosts, and ghost hunting. The illustrations are excellent and plentiful. Pages are clean and clear: no inscriptions, no notes, and no underlining. NOT an ex library book. No apparent markings at all on pages, except arguably a little half-hidden blotching to front pastedown/FEP but this is none too visible at all. DJ is unclipped and is excellent: the slightest of shelf wear but otherwise completely intact and the original covers of the cover illustrations are as bright as ever. Boards are very nice, and in fact feature the same illustrations as the DJ. Binding tight. This is the best condition we have seen of this book. This is the first edition 3rd impression. Would make a lovely addition for the collector of books in the paranormal and occult. Now covered in a professional, clear, removable cover. See photos all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos
