Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Special Edition. A tension-packed tale of espionage on the eve of World War I. Direct from the late Michael Gilbert's library in his house in Kent is the author's own personal copy of Into Battle. The author was a personal acquaintance of the seller, who acquired the book from the family after the author's death in 2006. It bears the author's distinctive personal green and white library label stuck to the front pastedown. Fine in pictorial dustwrapper. The Hale first edition is exceptionally scarce, owing to Hale's tiny print run and, given its provenance, this is a unique copy and a must have for any serious collector of Michael Gilbert's work.
