About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. True first edition of O'Flaherty's classic book of the Irish Underground in Dublin. Made into a memorable film directed by John Ford. A clean tight very good copy in green cloth with bright spine lettering. Price intact dustwrapper is quite bright and has benefited from some profesional restoration to spine gutters and base of spine. Presents beautifully. A scarce literary work from one of the Irish masters of the form.
Synopsis
