About This Item
London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd,. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1942. Reprint. Hardcover. This book was published originally in JUNE 1942 - this copy was published in AUGUST 1942. So probably a second impression but it just states 'reprinted August 1942'. Fine red cloth covers with very bright gilt titling to the spine. Perhaps a very slight 'lean' to the book - but difficult to assess. In the original publishers dustjacket - NOT price-clipped but some chips to the front corners of the dustjacket and a former owner has reinforced the inside of the d/j spine with masking tape (! ) which doesn't show through and actually has protected the spine - a 0.3 cm only of this tape is neatly on the outside head/tail of the spine, and a small triangle of tape on the rear edge of the spine by the 'F' of 'Frensham'. All chips and head/tail of spine have also been tinted to match the green base of the d/j, and the dustjacket is now in a new protective clear - removable - bookfilm plastic cover and the whole d/j looks overall VG. See Images - taken without the new clear removable cover. The page fore-edges are very lightly toned. ALL hinges very tight. Internally NO INSCRIPTIONS or MARKS. (4) + 279pp. A story of two families set against the background of the early days of Wartime Kent. Overall an excellent copy - very clean, tight and bright. A VERY Scarce book in this original form. See Images. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
