About this Item

This is a SECOND EDITION of this title, published by The Amalgamated Press Limited - date not stated and unable to determine from research, although early 1900s. The paperback is in Good condition for its age. The front cover has pieces missing from all four corners and along the spine, as the photos show, and might possibly have the rear cover missing - see later on in this description. The spine is chipped at top and bottom and also along the middle, so the title is largely gone. It has been sellotape repaired. When you open the book, the first inch from the spine out is glued to the opening end paper / adverts. Turn these pages however and the book opens as you'd expect, although the staples are visible and rusty. This edition has three full page glossy pictures and whilst the pages are toned, the text is clear and legible. The title page confirms this is number 54 of the Daily Mail Sixpenny Novels and opposite the title page is a list of the other 53 novels. The story itself is 108 pages long and finishes with "The End" so I can confirm it is complete. Thereafter is a further 12 pages of either adverts or text / fiction. And this is where I'm unsure if the book ends at page 120 or whether the rear of the jacket is missing - I suspect the latter. Seller Inventory # 017830
