Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Special Edition. Highly collectable C.S.Forester first edition, specially bound. It's from 1943, half bound in a most attractive grained blue leather with blue cloth boards. A very scarce and special binding by Hatchards of Piccadilly. Extremely rare in such a contemporary leather binding, and it is not known how many were offered thus. Spine has five raised bands, with gilt lettering. Lightly marked covers, and the spine has darkened a little.Top edge gilt, outside edge has browned because of the War Economy paper. Previous owner's bookplate to front endpaper. Tight binding with no loose pages, a few occasional spots of foxing buttext is generallyclean throughout.Overall condition isVery Good, but overriding this is the sheer rarity of such a distinguished binding on this much sought after book. Please excuse my shadow appearing in any photographs! Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
