A propos de cet article

Patterned paper-covered boards. The base colour of the pattern (brown) had 'faded' to green on the spine but all titling /pattern clear. NO dustjacket. The book is now in a new protective clear - removable - bookfilm plastic cover and looks good. Corners rubbed with the bottom 2 corners showing a little of the boards. A little discolouration/bumping to the head/tail of the spine. Page fore-edges have some light marks. (6) + 78 pp. Internally, this copy is SIGNED by the author in green ink to the front free endpaper (Ian Hay Beith). The Frontispiece is stained around the edges of the image - but, very oddly, no stains affect the remainder of the pages / text, which is VG. I'd be tempted to say that the frontispiece was stained before being inserted on publication? But really I have no idea? . "Major General John Hay Beith (1876-1952) was a British schoolmaster and soldier and was Awarded the Silver Cross for bravery in action during the First World War. Best remembered, however, as a novelist, playwright, essayist and historian who wrote under the pen name Ian Hay." . A BIBLIO-STORY. See Images; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; Signed by Author.
