With an ownership name in ink on the front pastedown. Internally the book is also very good, with none of the usual offsetting to the endpapers and very little foxing to the pages. ![]() Page block edges clean with just a little light foxing. The binding square has a slight forward reading lean. No significant tears to the fragile cloth apart from the aforementioned splitting at the spine. Head and tail of spine slightly creased and nicked with small closed tears at the edges. The fragile cloth covering is split between the spine and the back board, and partially between the spine and front board, but is still holding. The boards are clean and unmarked, but they are faded at the spine and on the back board near the spine. ***A good only copy in red cloth-covered boards, with black titles to the spine. The second scarcest title in the series in first edition after "Demelza". Scarce first printing of the true first edition, published in 1945. ![]()
