The Painted Leopard by Peter Greave. Signed ('With the compliments of the author, Peter Greave')first edition, first impression. Signed by the author to the title page. Small Octavo. 255pp. This book is in good condition. The black cloth boards are very good, with minor bumping to both the front and the rear board top corners and to the rear board bottom corner adjacent to the spine. The spine top and bottom edges are lightly bumped and there is a slight ridge along the centre of the spine. The closed page block has foxing along the top edge, and very minor foxing to the front edge and bottom edge. The pages have slightly yellowed with age. Apart from the foxing mentioned already that appears on the edges of the pages, there is very light foxing to the front free end pages. Otherwise the pages are clean and the binding is tight. The dust jacket is in poor condition, with several closed and open tears to the edges, and some foxing and tanning to the front and rear surfaces. There is a cellophane film over the outer surface of the dust jacket that, though protective, cannot be removed. The dust jacket is unclipped.…

Store description
Wordhoard. One of the oldest written words in the English language (actually Wordhord in Old English). Storytellers would ‘open their wordhord’ whilst sitting amongst friends and family and tell stories of great deeds such as the story of Beowulf. It’s a word that speaks of the importance of storytelling throughout our history. So perhaps a fitting name for a bookshop? Based in Bristol, UK, Wordhoard Books specialise in selling collectible signed and unsigned first edition books for both adults and children. Collections include signed books, novels, natural history, military history, general history, art, graphic art, film, biography, poetry, and many more, so please do come and browse. If you have any questions regarding any of my books, feel free to get in touch.…
