About This Item
Norman Wright, 2013. 1st Thus. Hardcover. NF/VG+. Signed Limited Edition No 64 of 300. 14.5 x 21.4 black boards with gilt stamped titles to the spine. 133[2] pp with colour frontispiece by Andrew Skilleter. In original dust jacket. The book is signed by the publisher and illustrator on the title page and there is a pencil drawn portrait of W E Johns on the front free endpaper signed by the illustrator. A near fine book clean and bright with a lovely original drawing noting only a touch of creasing to the tissue-guard. The dust jacket which is now protected in a removable, clear cover [not shown] is in excellent condition noting a little rubbing to the corners and spine tips and top edge, and a small dent near the upper joint. A very nice copy with the authors portrait. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
