About This Item
London: Jarrolds, 1934. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's black boards with gilt spine lettering. Slightly soft spine tips and a bump to the bottom right hand corner of the back panel overall a lovely, tightly-bound and clean VG+ copy. In the RARE D/W priced 7/6 net to the spine (as called for). The D/W is about VG with browning to the spine and shallow chipping at the head and tail just affecting the publisher's name at the base of the spine. Rare in First Edition especially in D/W. Grey Granite is the third volume in the Scots Quair trilogy and although not quite of the level of the previous two volumes (Sunset Song and Cloud Howe) it is a fitting-enough conclusion. Grey Granite is a novel of Communism, Socialism, factories, violence and town life. Photographs/scans available upon request.
