A lovely clean copy which is signed and dedicated by the author on the half title page in ink pen thus: " To Tom Thegrick from Bathhurst, March 1939" Generally in fabulous condition although with one or two flaws which it is necessary to describe below. The red cloth boards are almost certainly the original, with crisp title lettering on the front, however the spine has been re-backed in attractive red leather with gilt titles near the head. There's a little slit on the paste down pages, front and rear, presumably as a result of the rebinding. There is a tiny nick out of the top edge of the front fly leaf close to the gutter edge. The early and late pages, being on different paper stock, have some mild to moderate foxing but nothing at all severe. There are no owner inscriptions or obvious marks with nice clean pages throughout the book. The fold out map of the V.W.H. Country is in fabulous fresh, clean condition. I hesitate to say like new, but it's not far off. The map encompasses Criclade, Fairford, Lechlade, Swindon, Cirencester and Malmesbury. A splendid, unique signed 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.)
