Sobre este item
London: William Heinemann, 1929. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 9" by 6". Not Stated. A lovely copy of the first edition, fourth impression of Priestley's most famous novel. The first edition, fourth impression of this work, published in the same year as the first impression, in a half calf binding. J. B. Priestley (1894-1984) was an English novelist, playwright, screenwriter, broadcaster and social commentator. This is Priestley's most famous novel, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and established him as a national figure. The story follows the fortunes of a concert party on a tour of England. There have been many film and stage musical adaptations of this work. In a half calf binding. Externally generally smart, with a little rubbing to the extremities. Boards are slightly faded with light shelf wear. Front hinge is starting but held firmly. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with some spotting to the fore edge, affecting the occasional page. Very Good
