Jacket illustration uncredited; 12mo, red cloth with black, gold and buff imprinting; English soldier on spine, no illustration on cover. 384 pp. The very uncommon pictorial jacket shows Hartley bound to a stake, but about to be freed by an accomplice. Book is near fine, with top front corner lightly bumped and a bit of dust to page edges, otherwise quite bright and tight. Jacket is price clipped and shows some rubbing, notably at rear cover, and trace edge wear, but is quite bright and distinctly better than Very Good. See scans.
