About This Item
London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1957. First Edition. Quarter Bound. Good/Fair. 8vo. Frontis., 208 pp., illus. Ex-library copy. Boards and endpapers have extensive adhesive stains from where the jacket had been taped down. Library stamp on the copyright page, circulation card on rear free endpaper, circulation pocket on rear pastedown. The jacket has complementary adhesive stains along the flap edges, rear flap is mostly missing, jacket is rubbed and edgeworn and there is a location label on spine. In spite of the wear to the jacket and boards, the text is clean and intact, of course, since according to the date due slip, this book was never once taken out of the library. Worth owning as an exemplar of the librarian's destructive craft and the lack of interest on the part of the reading public.
