About This Item
No dw. Cloth showing through small portion of inside front board but still tight.
This is a variant of the original with orange boards and a plane over an outline of Spain. This has a small asterisk on the half title. I suspect they may have been for the colonies. Despite this it is stated as a first edition and dated 1939. Good claen copy.
