Item description from seller

First impression of the true first edition, printed in November 1946 - with the original dustwrapper (very worn). ***A very good copy in salmon-pink cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt has largely oxidised over time, and the boards show quite a lot of fading at the top edges and the spine. Very slight reading lean. Spine tight. Page block edges largely clean - just lightly foxed to the fore-edge. Some light bumps and creases to the extremities, but no significant bumps or creases. Corners slightly rubbed but fairly sharp. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No internal foxing. No creases or tears. ***In a good only illustrated dustwrapper. The dustwrapper is largely complete, but has some loss at the top edge of the back panel with quite a lot of surface scuffing and creasing. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's price of 8s. 6d. net. The dustwrapper is extremely thin and so very prone to damage, and this example has been quite heavily reinforced with tape on the inside. The dustwrapper is however quite clean, and the illustration on the front panel is clean and unmarked. The back panel is a little grubby, being mainly a white background. ***210mm x140mm. 234 pages. ***'This is the second volume in the author's chronicle of the life and loves of Eustace Cherrington. "The Shrimp and the Anemone" left him as a boy in the sudden and bewildered possession of a small fortune. "The Sixth Heaven", which as a story stands alone, shows how an apparently dependent nature can enter into gilded circumstances and remain essentially the same. Mr. Hartley's Eustachian trilogy will be concluded in a third volume announced for the spring of 1947.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A very good copy of the true first edition of the second novel in L. P. Hartley's "Eustace and Hilda" trilogy. The book is a fragile post-war production, and the dustwrapper is extremely thin, and copies retaining a dustwrapper are extremely hard to find now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
