About This Item

London, UK The Fountain Press, 1948 . Hardcover First Edition (1948), so stated. First Edition (1948), so stated. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Very Good DJ: The Book shows indications of very careful use: just a touch of sunning to the bottom quarter-inch of the panels and backstrip; former owner's rubber-stamped address at the lower front pastedown endpaper; the binding leans slightly and is a bit cocked off square, while remaining perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing light wear and minor flaws. The DJ shows light wear to extremities, with small loss to rubbing and chipping; mild rubbing to the panels and faint, but pervasive soiling to the white background field of the rear panel; the price has been clipped; mylar-protected. 8vo. (9.75 x 7.5 x 0.6 inches). 144 pages. 54 full-page duotone photographs. Foreward by Rathbone Holme. Language: English. Weight: 18 ounces. Hardback with DJ.
