London: Michael Joseph Ltd, 1941. Third Impression. Red Cloth. Very Good/Good Minus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 276pp. A well preserved copy of this third impression of this scarce book - same year as the first edition. Complete with a wrapper that is in fair to good condition. Silver embossed lettering to the spine and small vignette to the front board. Some fading to the head of the spine (approx upper 2cm) and the tail of the spine (approx. lowest 2cm) where the wrapper is chipped. Also some fading to the head of the front and rear boads. A charming former owner's book plate (C.S. & F.E. Vartan) to the front paste-down. No other inscriptions. The text block remains very clean, tight sand well preserved. The wrapper is tired and worn with chips of around 2cm to th head and tail of the spine with some loss. Four other quite significant chips to the wrapper with light or slight loss elsewhere. The wrapper is loose-fitting. . There are also a number of tears which have been expertly repaired. Several have been repaired with acid-free archival tape. A very good well preserved copy in a tired wrapper, that is largely complete.
