Sobre este item
Dennis Dobson , 1955. 1st Edition. Hardcover. F/NF. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. 12.5 x 19cm. Publisher's original dusky rose coloured boards with gilt titles to the spine, 191pp, together with original dust jacket priced at 9s 6d. Noting a light dust mark near the top of the upper joint, the boards are in fine condition with no shelf-wear. The spine titles are beautifully bright and fresh. All fore edge corners are firm, sharp and square. The binding is very tight and square, such that the book appears unread. There is a little tab of paper, 2 x 5mm, at the bottom fore edge of p125/126 that extends out from the text block, where it has not been cut properly in production. Internally, there is age related acid migration toning to the endpapers and a light vertical band of it on the pastedowns. There is no name, inscription or bookplate and the pages are beautifully clean with no spots, marks or blemishes. The dust jacket which is now protected in a removable plastic cover (not shown in the images) has a 1cm closed tear at the top edge of the front panel and of 1.5cm at the top of the bottom panel joint with the back flap. It has small chips at the extremes of the lower joint, very light rubbing to the corners and lower joint. The white titles of the spine remain unusually bright and the rear panel is the cleanest we have seen. Despite the very minor flaws mentioned, this is a superb copy. 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.
