First impression. A nice, presentable copy with clean blue cloth boards with crisp titles to the spine, albeit there is a hint of a sun fade at the very edges. Gift inscription on the ffep which reads thus: "To Shona, Phill and Emma, Many Happy Rousay Days. Thankyou for a super holiday, love from David Lesley and Helen" so, evidently to some Orkney islanders. Otherwise the pages are clean throughout albeit with some toning/mild foxing to the outer page block edge. A little bit knocked at the corner tips and there's a small dent to the front board at the fore edge, towards the top corner. The dust jacket is clean and bright, not price clipped, although there is a little light edge wear at the corner tips and spine ends and a little toning to the inner flaps. A great copy.

Store Description

Richardson Rare Books Tel. 01472 823900 was formerly known as Mr. Books which is located on Tonbridge High Street in Kent, England for over 12 years up until July 2017. Due to the sale of the bricks and mortar side of the business it made sense to change the name to reflect a shift of direction. Since then we have been trading online, at PBFA fairs and Bloomsbury Book Fairs, as well as showcases at select antique centres in Lincolnshire. We don't specialise in anything in particular, just rare and fine books on many subjects. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of signed modern fiction firsts which aren't always listed on abebooks so please do call us if you have any particularly collections you'd like to add to. The stock is being constantly replenished so it's always worth visiting us at one of the fairs we exhibit at. See web site for details (subject to constructing it.)
