About this Item
First printing from 1956 of this aviation classic. The boards have a few light white spots and some discolouration around the edges but the lettering is quite bright. The page edges are heavily browned with some scattered spotting. The previous owner's name and a date are written in ink on the front free endpaper. The pages have browning around the edges and a tiny tear to the top edge of the title page. The jacket is a bit ragged with a one inch L shaped tear at the bottom of the spine, a one inch by half inch chip at the base of the spine over the spine and the front panel, a one and a half inch by half inch piece missing at the top of the rear panel and a half inch of loss at the top of the spine. There is some edge creasing and chipping at the corners. There is also some discolouration particularly at the top of the rear panel and on the spine where the jacket has been stained with this leaving browning to the reverse. The front panel has two small patches of white staining on the top half over and to the right of the title. The jacket is largely complete and although categorised as 'Poor' it is possibly on the low end of 'Good.' First printing. Seller Inventory # 005775

UK Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lb, or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
European Orders: Shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. For European orders I have only quoted a price for air mail. Not all European countries have been added so your shipping may appear high. Please note that I will adjust the charge I make if this is the case and postage to Europe will be lower than the rest of the world. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
Other overseas orders: shipping costs are based on books weighing 800g. I will generally use whatever method is covered by the standard postage charge but if you specifically wish to have it sent surface or airmail or anything else please ask and I will amend the charge accordingly. Please only choose the cheaper surface mail option if you do not mind waiting - the suggested upper time limit for this form of delivery is 60 days and it can take that long - and sometimes a bit longer. If therefore you wish to receive the book in 2-3 weeks then please opt for the more expensive postage option which will guarantee airmail delivery. If you are buying a small paperback or another small book then the postage and packing will generally be reduced by £1.50 and I will reduce the charge before processing your order.
Books are usually wrapped in bubblewrap and then in cardboard. Please ask if you have any particular requirements.
