About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton. 1931. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth with black titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm and the cloth clean and bright. The contents with an ink name to the front pastedown, a small previous owner's bookplate and some spotting to the inner edge of the front endpaper are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked pictorial dustwrapper, that has a touch of toning to the spine but is otherwise bright and without loss. Correctly priced 7/6net to the spine. An attractive example, quite uncommon in the dustwrapper. (Hubin). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
