Kelly & Co. Believed First Edition. Hardcover. Acceptable. Hardback, no dustwrapper as issued. Red boards with gilt crest to front board. Boards are quite heavily rubbed to all edges especially lower edge and top and bottom of spine.. Previous owner has inscribed his name and address in pencil a number of times to the advertisements to the front of the book. There is some spotting to end papers. Map of Birmingham is present but has a tear, Worcestershire map is missing. Text is otherwise in quite good order. Numerous pages of adverts to front and rear both local and national. Still a good study copy. Weighs approx 2.5 kilos so will require additional postage outside the UK.
