Hardcover. The Unicorn Press. 1931. London. Hardcover (no dust jacket). Octavo. Fair. Red cloth, with gilt lettering to spine. Neatly inscribed by author on half-title page with fountain pen (a general inscription, not to an individual). After his signature Bason has written 'in London 1947'. This is copy number 739 of 950 printed. Book shows wear commensurate with its age. There is a circular stain to upper left cover, which is not terribly intrusive, as the stain itself is light and has taken on the red color of the cover. There is some soiling to the back few pages. I observed a tiny spot of foxing at the spine on two separate pages. There is edgewear to top board of back cover. Back endpaper is soiled and chafed in spots. Book has a unique feature. In this edition the author has added additional information - with a fountain pen - in four separate areas. 78 pages.
