About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1969. First Edition Thus . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. This book was first published 1960 by Luttersworth Press under the title: "Changes at Dowbiggins." It is a sequel to "The Family of Dowbiggins" (1950), and "More about Dowbiggins" (1958). It is in very nice condition, with a gift inscription to a former owner on the free front end paper, but no other marks and very few signs of previous use. The turquoise covers are bright, with minor wear at tips and corners. The gilt spine lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is also in very good condition, with a price-clip to the lower corner of the front flap, and a short tear and associated folding at the top of the front panel. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. A very nice copy. Synopsis: Having weathered their father's surprising rise to fame, the Conyers children each had to meet their own challenges while working together to keep Hilderstone in the running for first place in the Best Kept Village Competition.
