About This Item
Howard Timmins, 1958. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. Signed. 2nd completely revised edition. The half title page has been signed and inscribed by the author, Conrad Lighton, in blue ink. The dust jacket is quite shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, with multiple tears, small chips and creasing along the edges. Despite this, the jacket remains bright and intact. The boards are a touch edge worn but are strong and square. Internally, the end pages are foxed, and there is tanning around the edges throughout. Aside from this, there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. Tightly bound and presents charmingly in cellophane. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
