About This Item
No dust jacket. The date on title page matches the date on the copyright page, so I presume this is likely to be a first edition. The green cloth covers show mild wear for its age, worn through only at the top and bottom of the rear spine hinge. The book is marred by hinge splits front and rear. The front split has resulted in the loss of the free endpaper and the half-title page hanging on by about 1.5 cm of untorn paper (photo #5). The rear split is in the end paper and is less dramatic (photo #6). Pages are deckle-edged, with gilt top, and are clean and tight. A fictionalized accounting of Richard and the Crusades. A somewhat scarce book.
