About This Item
London: Daily Express. 1941. First edition of the sixth Daily Express Rupert Annual. First edition of the sixth Daily Express Rupert Annual. Publisher's original pictorial boards. Illustrated in colour throughout. A very good copy, the binding firm with some rubbing at the spine edges and bumping at the corners. The spine is slightly rolled. The contents are entirely complete and without loose or torn pages. The "This Belongs to" box has a neatly written name in it otherwise that are no previous owner's marks. A couple of pages have a single foxing spot to the lower blank margin but on the whole a clean and tidy example in entirely original condition. The fragile nature of the paper covered binding combined with poor quality war-time paper used in production dictates that the 1941 annual is one of the scarcest Ruperts to acquire anything approaching collectable condition. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
