About This Item
London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1947. First. Hardcover. Very Good/Good-. The second novel published in C. P. Snow's monumental Strangers and Brothers 11 novel series. Published just after WWII, dust jackets are uncommon, since the jacket paper quality was not particularly good.
This copy is very good in blue cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Slight fading at the top edge and at the lower spine, where there is jacket loss. The spine ends are a bit bumped. No other marks or damage. The unclipped DJ has some soiling, and minor tears and chipping along the edges. There is a loss of 3" of the lower jacket spine. FO.
