About This Item
Hutchinson, 'New Authors Limited' series, London, 1950. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing), appearing here as the eleventh volume of Hutchinsons series debuting assorted authors. 8vo. 205pp. Black boards lettered in white at the spine. Edges spoiled and lightly spotted, a little minor marking to the boards and a small bump to the upper edge. Some unsightly spotting and soiling to the free endpaper and to one or two preliminary and concluding leaves. Former owner name inked to the head of the front free endpaper, alongside a former dealer inkstamp. Some spotting and soiling to occasional margins, and some occasional inked marginal highlights. About a good copy in marked, rubbed, chipped and soiled non-price-clipped dust wrapper, the publisher's laminate lifting or absent at several small areas. The first novel by the noted Jamaican novelist, poet, journalist and broadcaster. Uncommon, albeit not the nicest example..
