About This Item
London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1956. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good/Poor. Publisher's light blue cloth with silver titles. A strip of sunning at each end of the backstrip where there is loss to the dustjacket. The binding is firm, square and tight. Free from owner names etc but small bookseller label to front pastedown, bottom edge. The block has toned, the fore-edge shows some small spotting and other marks. Good. The dustjacket is unclipped, large chips to each end of the spine, other loss at corners. Browned at the spine, small stains at several places including front panel. Unquestionably tatty but it's mostly present!
