About This Item
London: Collins, 1981. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. An attractive copy of the very first title in the enduring Richard Sharpe series. A lovely square, tight binding which is pushed/bumped at the spine tips. The block remains fresh and is free from previous owner names etc. Very nice indeed, Fine or very near it. The dustjacket bears the publisher's price-clip with their new price of £6.95 at the front flap. Rubbed at the corners with tiny loss and creased at the spine tips with a tiny laminate chip and nick at the crown. Presents reasonably well, however, and a VG dustjacket. Loosely inserted into the book a small, plain white card which has been hand-signed in black ink by Bernard Cornwell - ideal size for mounting.
Synopsis
Sharpe's Eagle is a historical novel by Bernard Cornwell. Set in July 1809 during the Peninsular War and featuring the Battle of Talavera it is the 8th (chronologically) in the Richard Sharpe Series. As the first of the series to be written the events in this novel do a great deal to establish Sharpe's legacy as a hero.
