There None Embrace

Hardcover in original illustrated dust jacket (jacket art by Hookway Cowles). This is an ex-library copy. The dust jacket shows notable wear consistent with library circulation: heavy chipping and loss at the spine head and tail, rubbing along the edges, and general handling wear, though the illustration remains bright and the colours have not faded significantly. The cloth boards beneath are sound. Internally, the endpapers and early leaves show foxing and old staining (brown spotting visible on the front free endpaper and title page), and there is a library accession number (353037) stamped to the rear endpaper along with various pencil/pen cataloguing marks. Text block is complete and tightly bound; pages are age-toned but clean and fully legible throughout. A solid reading/collecting copy of a scarce Ward Lock gothic thriller, honestly priced to reflect the ex-library condition.
