About this Item: Thomas Nelson and Sons, London, 1910. Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A reasonable copy although not without some flaws. On the plus side there are no inscriptions and the pages are nice and clean throughout most of the book. There is some very mild foxing occasionally and more so, especially on the dedication page and prelims. The hinge has been cracked early in the book enough to reveal the linen of the binding underneath and to loosen the book a little. The green cloth boards are somewhat spotted in appearance and a little knocked and worn at the extremities. The white background of the title block to the spine has partially worn off with the gilt title lettering themselves still mostly crisp apart from the letter "e" of "Prester" All this said the book is still a decent and presentable enough copy given its scarcity.

About this Item: London: Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1910. Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Buchan s first major success in his fictional writing. I m not absolutely certain but I think that, as with The Thirty-Nine Steps, it may well have been continuously in print since its first publication in 1910. It is an exciting tale of rebellion in Southern Africa. It was originally published in serial form in The Captain magazine as The Black General and the first US edition bore the title The Great Diamond Pipe. All are the same story. VG first edition similar to the variant binding (see note to Blanchard A21) Decorated blue cloth with gold lettering on the spine. However, the lettering on the front is also gold rather than the usual dark blue. The spine has faded and the gold lettering and decoration is badly faded with most of the gold leaf gone. There is a quarter-inch split at the head of the spine. The cloth on the boards is rippled in places and the rear cover has a small scuffed area. The front board is bumped at the top corner and the board has cracked inside the cloth. Bright internally with browned endpapers and an inscription on the fly-leaf. Seller Inventory # 9406
