About This Item
Arrowsmith, Bristol, 1938. Book. Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First edition (never reprinted) - this copy inscribed by the author on the title page to an un-named recipient. 8vo. 240pp. Blue ribbed cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt-stamped vignette to the upper board. With map-illustrated endpapers and various plates and illustrations in the text. Cloth a little marked and chafed at extremities, with a five millimetre nick to the base of the upper board and a little resulting creasing. An area of miscellaneous staining to the top edge, encroaching just a fraction of upper margins of occasional text leaves, and some very light sporadic fox-spotting and margin soiled. Quite a nice crisp copy of an uncommon book in the uncommon pictorial dust wrapper, non-price-clipped, but a little tanned and spotted with an inch of loss from the head of the spine panel and a fraction or two more from various extremities. A delightful portrayal of the North Devon village of Georgeham ('Ham')..
