Stated First Edition 1947. From the title page: 'A collection of thirty-eight drawings of historic buildings damaged during the bombing of London in the Second World War 1939-1945.' You can see the covers of the book in the photos. There is some soiling off the front top edge. The gilt lettering on the spine is fairly bright. The spine ends have a little bit of wear. There's also a little wear and light fraying over part of the juncture between the spine and rear cover. There is one spot of soiling on the rear cover. The cover edges have a few very small spots, but no rubbing. A couple of corners have a small spot of shallow rub-through. The book is pretty square and the spine is pretty straight. However, the covers do bow out quite a bit, as the photos should show you. There is a very thin space at the juncture between the front inside cover and the front end paper. It only comes down about 30% of the way from the top edge. The front cover is solidly bound. Between the rear inside cover and rear end paper there is another thin space coming down about 20% of the way from the top edge. The rear cover is also quite solidly bound. The remainder of both of these two junctures is free of any wear. The pages are nicely, tightly bound. I've turned all of them over. There is only one instance of a space at the juncture between two facing pages. It's at the center of the book where it may have been left lying open. Again the space begins at the top edge. It comes down about 30% of the way. The rest of the juncture is not affected. Both of these facing pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. The pages are exceptionally clean. I've looked at them all. I haven't seen any soiling. Several of the drawings are in color, including the frontispiece. They are all in excellent condition. I haven't found any instances of creasing. There are no markings. There are no attachments. There is a neatly penned inscription on the blank front end paper. There is no other writing anywhere in the book. There is a good deal of tanning on both inside covers and on the blank front end paper, not anywhere else. The acetate jacket is very rare. I saw only one other. Mine is in pretty nice shape. It has that small loss at the top edge of the spine, and it has a several creases. Note that it was produced a little bit shorter than the length of the book itself. As you can see from the smooth, even edges of the jacket, there is no loss on them, again it is just the way the jacket was produced. The jacket is quite clean. Unfortunately, the camera is picking up reflections of my arm, phone, etc. There's no soiling. There is a thin tear on the spine and continuing a little ways onto the front. The flaps are also clean. I don't see any tears on them. There are a couple of creases. The flaps don't have any print on them with the exception of the price off the bottom edge of the front flap. So the jacket is not price-clipped, not clipped at all. And I have always had it in a fitted protective cover--which is why it's picking up the reflections. The Introduction, titled A Reverie On London, is six pages. 'Hanslip Fletcher was an etcher, illustrator and painter specializing in architectural studies of London and elsewhere. He was born and lived in London. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and was a member of the Art Workers' Guild. His architectural drawings appeared in newspapers including the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Times ('the drawings reproduced in this book were commissioned from the artist by the proprietors of the Sunday Times' and the majority have appeared in its pages'). Mr. Fletcher exhibited extensively including at the Royal Academy, Goupil Galleries, Dudley Gallery, New English Art Club and other London galleries. His work is held by Dundee University, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, as well as the British Museum.'.…

Description de la boutique
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
