About This Item
No date. Covers the period up to Dec 13th 1918 and includes lists of Casualties and Expenses, obviously compiled some time after the War ended. H G Wells and the Editor write of looking back "twenty years", which puts the publication date around 1936 for this compilation of 120 "Chapters" in total (55 "Chapters" in Vol One). The handsome embossed binding, which is Very Rare, indicates that it was from the publisher. Originally issued apparently in 55 parts (with continuous paging) from Nov. 8th, 1934-Nov. 21st, 1935. Both vols : The spines, which were scuffed, have been touched up and strengthened. Repaired inside channels; scuffed heads and tails which have been strengthened inside the Oxford channels. The preliminary pages including the Chapter headings were on inferior paper and are well tanned. All other pages are only slightly yellowed. Vol One has water staining through much of the lower page margins, not affecting the text. Vol Two likewise, but much less and confined to the lower margin in the folds. Throughout the text the very numerous b&w photos are of good quality, many are of Prussian, Austrian and German troops in action; many full p sepia photographs. Please expect much extra postage - combined weight 5 kgs. Could be as much as US$ 180 to USA , rather less to UK.
