Close spacing of the words "And thinking you might miss" (p.170 line 7); 4. Close spacing of the words "very brink of leathering away with all his power" Boards: The publisher's original red cloth boards have gilt decoration and lettering to the front and spine and blind stamp decorations to the front and back boards.
