DESCRIPTION
(ii) + 72pp + (ii)
Book measures 180mm x 125mm approximately.
fourteenth impression
Nicely bound in quarter green calf over green cloth covered boards. Spine with intricate gilt decorated compartments with gilt title and date labels. Marbled end-papers to front and rear. Top page edges in gilt. Original first performance (12th Oct 1918) cast members list to rear.
CONDITION
Holding very firm indeed. A few minor scratches and scuffs. Both boards are a little bowed. Internally, the pages are incredibly bright and fresh with just the odd spot, mostly to front end-papers. Also the pages are a little tightly bound into the seam so do not fold over too well.
Please refer to the photo images for a clear indication of both condition and content.
