About this Item

CONDITION: Very Good Plus; no names, two small pale spots on top board and scrape on Milton's border, otherwise very solid, with bright gilt and clean flat pages. Reference essays, hardback. A nice opinionated list of broad reading, for a serious teenager rather than a child, "Young readers should beware of misleading chatter about Mr. James which appears in columns of book gossip and newspaper comment; it attempts to turn Mr. James into a joke and caricatures his subtlety and obscurity." ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. .
