About This Item
Brockhampton Press, 1964. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (Leicester: Brockhampton Press 1964). First UK Edition. Publisher's yellow boards with green lettering to the spine. The book itself is VG+ without any noteworthy faults as such. No inscriptions and NO SPINE FADE as so often seen. The VG+ dustwrapper (priced 8/6 net to the inside flap as called for) is 100% intact but has a touch of rubbing at the top of the spine and numerous superficial surface indentations to the front panel (when you put the book up to the light) as a former owner has used it as a paper rest when it was enclosed in a book protector. There is also a small "ripple" effect (front panel only) from having been enclosed in an overtight protector for a long time. Illustrations by Leslie Stead. Biggles # 68. It looks much nicer than it sounds. Photographs/scans available upon request.
