About This Item
London: Routledge, 1940. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's original buff cloth, titles to spine in black. Lovely clean copy. The buff boards are bright and clean, though spine has a few small marks and is slightly bumped at ends with a small 1 cm closed tear on rear top edge. Black, rather than gold, lettering on spine means this may be the second issue of the first edition although this has not been conclusively proven. Pages are clean and tight with only slight tanning and no inscriptions. In the rare first issue D/W (priced 8/- net to the inside flap as called for) that is creased to the inside flap and foxed under the manufacturers lamination (common to the first three in this pre-war series), however is still all there. Its VG because of the foxing yet sits well on the shelves being likely the scarcest among the first six Routledge volumes. Rare. Scans invited.
