Gunner Cade- UK 1st Edition 1st Printing hardback book

A UK 1st Edition, 1st printing hardback book, published in 1964 with no further UK printings mentioned. Please note that this title was previously published in the USA in 1952, but this is the first edition published in the UK. - The book is in good condition. It has a light lean and a slight push to the top and bottom of the spine which also has a crease from top to bottom. Light bumps to the outside corners of the front boards and the bottom of the reverse board. Sunning and foxing to the page block which has pulled away from the spine slightly at the top. Internally, there is a 3mm sized 'x' pen mark to the top outside corner of the front free end paper. Very very small spots of foxing to the pastedowns and end papers. Otherwise complete with no other writing inside. - The dust jacket is in fair condition and has not been price clipped. It is rather fragile in thin paper with chipping and tears to the top and bottom of the spine (the largest tear is 20mm). There is also a 25 mm long, 25mm wide abrasion across the bottom of the front resulting in loss to the quotation at the bottom. 4mm tear to the top of the front and 2mm tear to the bottom of the front. Chipping to the front and reverse where they meet the flaps at the top and bottom. 6m closed tear to the top of the reverse, with two smaller nicks also to the top. Sunning to the spine (to a darker yellow colour), with general staining across the jacket.…
