About This Item
London: T. Werner Laurie. [1921]. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with black titles and decoration to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips and corners. The cloth remains fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. The top edge of the closed text block is a little dusty. Complete with the rubbed and nicked original dustwrapper that has a few small chips at the head and tail of the darkened spine. Correctly priced 3/6 net to the spine. Very scarce in dustwrapper. A fantasy story featuring a man with bat like wings who can fly. (Locke: Spectrum of Fantasy; Bleiler). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
