About This Item
Robert Harley: Speaker, Secretary of State and Premier Minister, Brian W. Hill Hardback, 1988, first edition, first print, published by Yale University Press, New Haven and London, x + 259 pages.
In good condition. Some scuffing to dust jacket, a little marking but quite clean. Some edge-wear. Red cloth binding, gilt lettering to spine, slight marking but quite clean and firm, signs of shelf-wear to lower edges of boards. A little marking to page edges but quite clean. Page surfaces generally clean, though with the occasional mark. However, a previous owner has picked out a number of typographical errors in the book, which have been marked with red pencil and numbered in regular grey pencil at the bottoms of the pages. See pictures for more information.
