Add to basketItem description from seller
In lovely clean condition bound in bright cloth boards with crisp title lettering in gilt on the spine and contrast shade type on the front board. Neat gift inscription on the front fly leaf. The pages are lovely and clean, albeit with toning and mild foxing to the end papers and page block edge. The dust jacket is not in best condition but is still fairly bright, although price clipped, edge worn, with chipping and minor loss to the extremities and a tear the whole length of the book on the front hinge (Held together by the removable jacket sleeve, which will prevent any further damage or loss.) Sun discoloured/toned, more especially on the spine. In all, despite the jacket's flaws this is still a very decent copy of quite a scarce book.

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.)…
