About This Item
John Lane The Bodley Head Ltd, 1946. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG++/VG-. 1st Edition, 18.5 x 24.7 cm pictorial paper covered boards unpaginated [32] all with colour illustration by the author and accompanying text. In original price clipped dust jacket. The boards have been well protected by the dust jacket and are clean and bright with just a touch of shelfwear and minimal rubbing to the spine tips and corners. Internally clean, without name, inscription or bookplate and just the merest hint of toning to the free endpapers where the dust jacket does not reach. The dust jacket has a little rubbing with surface abrasion to the spine tips, corners and edges together with a closed tear measuring 5.5 cm on the rear panel although this is not apparent in the removable, clear cover (not shown) which now protects it. All in all a lovely first edition copy of this charmingly illustrated book. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
