About This Item
London & Toronto: J. M. Dent & Sons, 1927. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, showing no marks or even signs of previous use. The long edge of the text block has brown foxing. The brown covers are fresh, with minor wear at tips and corners. The gilt spine lettering has dulled somewhat. The dust jacket is not price-clipped ($1.75), and has light wear only. The attached scan should give a better idea of appearance. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover.
