About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1940. First. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Strangers and Brothers is the first volume of what became C.P. Snows 11 novel series of the same name. Published in the early days of WWII, it is by far the scarcest volume in the series, and dust jackets are extremely scarce. Paper was in short supply during the war, and one can see from the photos that the publisher resorted to printing the dust jackets for this title on the reverse of leftover dust jackets from other titles (in this case a jacket from Perkin the Pedlar, but Eleanor Farjeon).
This copy is near fine in green cloth with red titles on the spine. Slight scuffing at the corners and bumping at the spine ends are the only issues. No other marks or damage at all. The clipped DJ has minor soiling and some chipping and small tears at the edges, but is overall very good and is still quite bright. FO.
