Original red cloth on boards. Library gift plate and discard stamps, but no evidence of circulation. Limited edition. Top edges gilt. Matches my other Surtees listings exactly. Lightly-faded spine. The title is based on how Rosa McDermott should wear her hair - plain for one boyfriend, but ringlets for the other. Surrounding this tempest in a teapot is a flurry of good old boy social life. Horses, hounds, and hares predominate. If you like Thackeray or Trollope or Dickens you'll enjoy this one. Bring along a sharp knife since there are several uncut leaves among the 522 pages. Hefty book will need extra postage. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Store description
We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
