About this Item

Signed by the author on the front free endpaper with a dedication to his friend Archie Lyall. Archie Lyall was an interesting character who had both a writing and acting career among other exploits and is currently best remembered as a travel writer. The boards have yellowing along the top edges of the front and rear panels and at the top and bottom of the spine. Light browning to the page edges. Endpapers have quite a bit of yellow spotting with the front free endpaper the most badly affected. A few small creases to the top corners of the pages which are otherwise clean and unmarked. The jacket has a quarter inch piece missing at the top of the spine where there is a half inch closed tear next to the front panel. Light chipping to the corners, a small surface tear to the left edge of the rear panel and a half inch closed tear to the top edge of the rear panel. Heavy yellow spotting to the front flap where the dedication date has left a little ink mark. Illustrated by James Boswell. First printing.
