About This Item
London: Thornton Butterworth Ltd., 1930. First English Edition (Fourth Printing) (Cohen A91.1.f) (Woods A37a). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (392 pages, with photo frontispiece, maps, plans, one folding map, 16 tipped-in illustrations). This is a gorgeous copy of the Fourth Printing of the First English edition, which was issued in the year of publication and is identical to the first printing. Bound in smooth pink cloth this copy retains all of its original vivid pink luster on the front and rear faces, with the notoriously fade-prone spine only modestly faded and not worn or frayed. The binding is crisp and the contents fine. There is a light splattering of pink on the front free endpapers, else fine. An excellent example of a near-first First.
