Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. There is an ink name "W E Johns" on the title page, but this does not look to me like an authentic signature in several respects - it looks scratchy and indecisive, the line beneath has a squiggle in it unlike the straight line under other Johns signatures, and the "n" actually looks like an "n", instead of like a "u" or an "a" as in other Johns' signatures. NB: This is being sold with no assurances about the authenticity of the signature, about which I have doubts. Fading to ends of spine and margins of boards. Ink number on front endpaper. 25mm chips missing at head and tail of dust-jacket spine. 12mm chip to lower margin of front panel of dust-jacket. 22 x 4mm chip at head of front flap fold of dust-jacket. The red price lettering on the dust-jacket spine has faded to being nearly invisible, but held at the right angle it can be seen that "3/6 NET" was printed on the dust-jacket spine.
