Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 286 pages, 160 photogravure & 12 tipped in colour illustrations. A good plus hardback with decorated boards (first elephant edition). Dust Jacket has several repairs and some loss at the spine. We will send it with the book, but it's so poor that it is better to leave it off altogether. Book itself is fine internally but has scuffs to the top and base of the spine. This has made no effect to how well bound, square and tight the book still is. Our price for this First Edition is well below other sellers, although the faults to the book really are minor, so you should be pleased if you make a purchase.
