paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A smart duplicate uncorrected proof copy of this satirical speculative novel based on Adolf Hitler, with illustrations throughout. Duplicate proof for retention, does not contain proof reader's marks. Illustrated throughout. A speculative novel in which the author imagines Adolf Hitler flying to…Britain to propose peace, only to have the government allow him to return in light of the awkward diplomatic quandary he placed them in. The novel proved bizarrely prescient in 1941 when Hitler's Deputy, Rudolf Hess, did that exact excursion into Britain. Written by Robert Peter Fleming, a British adventurer, journalist, soldier and travel writer. He was the older brother of Ian Fleming, the creator of the character James Bond. Illustrated by Sir David Alexander Cecil Low, a New Zealand political cartoonist and caricaturist who lived and worked in the United Kingdom. In the original blue paper wraps. Externally, smart with minor wear to the extremities and a crease to the front board. Sunning to the spine and extremities with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot or handling mark. Very Good. David Low (illustrator). book.
