A propos de cet article

Published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson in 2007, here is the first hardback printing of Douglas Hurd's Robert Peel: A Biography signed and dated by the author (who I once met in Burford and found him to be a very unpleasant entitled man, atypical of the sort of chap that gets enobled for nothing in this country) in black ink to the half title page. Brown cloth binding, gilt spine lettering,436 illustrated pages the book is in fine condition and the dust jacket is very good with the remnants of a retail sticker to the front cover.
