About This Item
London : Herbert Jenkins Limited A good copy of the 6th printing in a good wrapper. Undated but circa 1940 - with Quick Service listed in the adverts at the rear and on the wrap. The book has an orange cloth binding with black titles. The binding is very bright and clean. The spine is cocked to the front and there is a small indentation at the top edge of the back board in the middle, and the back board is slightly warped. Light pulling to spine ends and light scuffing to edges and corners. There is an inscription dated 1943 at the top of the front pastedown. The paper is lightly toned throughout (some darker toning at the endpapers) but the contents are very clean. There is some spotting at the page edges. 4pp of adverts at the rear. The wrap is bright and clean, and is not price clipped. The spine has a price of 5/- on it and is slightly faded, particularly towards the bottom. There is edge nibbling with loss at the folds (particularly at the top of the spine), and some archive tape repair to stabilise edges. There is some scuffing to the folds. On the verso some staining is visible at the top and bottom edges around the spine.
