About This Item
New York: Berkley Large-Type Edition, 1975. Paperback. Fair. A Berkley Medallion Book. Miss Gillian Spencer was faced with quite a challenge. Impossible was the word she gave it, but her ever-hopeful employer, the Viscount Shebourne, would hear none of that. The facts were that the Viscount hadn't a farthing at his command, and his London house was a ruin. If his two charming and beautiful daughters were to rescue the family's standing by marrying wealth-"making advantageous connections" the doggedly euphemistic Viscount would have it -- Miss Spencer's work was certainly cut out for her. At the advanced age of 27, Gillian herself had dismissed the possibility of marriage for herself, of course - but who can predict where her talent of romantic intrigue on others' behalf might lead her? Book is in Fair condition being very worn and much read. There are spine creases and hinge creases on both covers, edges worn all round with rubbing. Lower spine has been taped. There is some soiling to page block and a couple of pages have stains on them. All the pages are tanned. There is a book shop stamp on the half-title and title page and another stamp on the inside front cover. Most of the binding is still tight but the middle of the book is splayed and there is a visible crack. This is a reading copy. The picture is a scan of the actual book.
