LONDON: Methuen & Co., 1927 FIFTH EDITION (Published just a few months after the first edition)

With its original dust-jacket. Decorative endpapers. x i + pp 158 Illustrated
19.5cm x 13.5cm x 2cm


CONDITION: The dust-jacket is a fragile, with light foxing and several small tears, with some loss. The cloth on the rear board has 'bubbled' slightly in the lower left quarter.. Foxed endpapers. Brown transfer mark between free end-paper and first leaf, probably due to an inserted bookmark. Light score-mark on this leaf and the half-title leaf.. Foxing to rear prelims. Red pen mark <2cm long to half-title verso. Two fox marks on penultimate and final page. The leaves have no damage, but the book has obviously been read - and treasured!
99 pence start with no reserve, as usual.
Good Luck in your Bidding!
Please Note. We try to describe our books as accurately as possible, but we are aware that there is always an element of subjectivity involved. We will therefore be happy to answer any questions you may have. We find that increasing the number of photographs in our descriptions can help the prospective bidder assess the condition of the book better, as well as enhancing the description. However, digital cameras do not always give the most faithful reproduction of colours, and sometimes it is impossible to avoid glare on shiny jackets, plates or covers. Finally, as we move towards listing a greater number of our books on Ebay and because we take great care in our packing, books may sometimes take a few days to dispatch. Many thanks for reading this, and good luck again in your bidding! Peter & Vanessa |
