About This Item
George G Harrap & Co, 1961. VG+/VG-. 1st Edition, 1st impression 13.5 x 20.4 cm dark blue boards with silver stamped titles to the spine and authors facsimile signature stamped in silver to the front board. 191 (1) pp, signed, inscribed and dated by the author to the front free endpaper. 'To dear Dr. 'T, / With all my love,/ Lucy./ 25th September, 1961.' [from the library of Dr R.N. Ticehurst]. Boards are clean and bright with a hint of pushing to the top fore edge corner on the front board and a little light wear along the top edge. Internally the book is clean with a hint of uniform toning to the pages and a few tiny ink dots to the top and fore edges of the text block. The dust jacket is a little marked on the rear panel and there is rubbing to the edges and as a result the fore edge of the front panel has small 1cm x0.3cm hole along the front edge and minor loss to the top fore edge corner of the front board. There is a little creasing to the top and bottom edges of the jacket which is now protected in a removable clear jacket (not shown). Despite the minor damage to the dust jacket the book presents very well and in all this is a lovely book made even more desirable by very scarce author's signature. The author's biography, formed part of basis for Ian McEwan's book, Atonement. 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.
