HARDBACK "HARD TO FIND IN THIS EDITION," SHIPPED FROM THE UK* Edition: 6th. Edition Revised.* Date of Publication: 1972* Publisher: Burke?s Peerage.* Binding and cover condition: Black cloth, gilt title to spine and face. Slight bumps to corners and very minor damage to tail of spine. No rubs, no other visible faults. VG* Jacket condition: No dust wrapper. (As Issued ?)* Contents condition: PRIVATE COPY NOT EX-LIBRARY. Clean, crisp, tight and bright with no reading wear, annotations or inscriptions. Some minor marks to fore-edge. VG++* Illustrations: None.* Pages: 887 pp. text. Small paste in ?errata? at front before the section on abbreviations.* Description: First published in 1934, this is the sixth revised edition containing four thousand new entries and a number of deletions. Some deletions are due not to the demise of the entrant but to the entrant?s expressed or implied reluctance to remain within the public gaze. Each entry takes the form of a compendious biography and within each biography there is included a full or selected list of the author?s works. This we hope will enable the reader to derive further pleasure or instruction from the same agreeable source. It would seem that this was the last edition of this work.* A NEAR FINE copy with only minor faults reducing it to VG. No dust jacket. A heavy book which means that some extra postage has been included in the price.*
