About This Item
London: Constable, (1953). First edition, first printing. This is a very good copy. The wrapper, though bright and indeed presentable, has atypical markings as common with this title. There is slight loss to the top and tail of the spine, with other slight marks present. It has not been price clipped (12s. 6d. net) and there are no signs of repair. The boards are sharp at the corners, though very lightly bumped at the spine tips. The titling is bright at the spine. The text blocks remain clean and free from foxing, the top stain is also clean. This copy is free from inscriptions and is highly presentable in a notoriously fragile dust wrapper.
The scarce third and final title in the Gorse trilogy.
