About This Item
London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1978. First edition, first printing. Published by Sidgwick & Jackson in London, 1978. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is bright throughout and with striking titles in red. There is very slight wear at the corners. It has not been price clipped and is with the original publisher's pricing sticker. The publisher's blue buckram is without notable wear and the gilt titling bright. The text blocks are foxed throughout, which casts this copy down from the fine grading. It is free from previous owner's ink and is, overall, in near fine condition. The authorised biography of W.E. Johns' Biggles.
