Thank You, Mr. Conquest
Collins, London: 1941
- $120
Original cranberry cloth, lettered in silver to the spine. 8vo - 252 pp, 3 ads. A solid copy with clean pages and text block. Some fading to the spine and spine ends pushed. Previous owner signature on the front free endpaper. A sharp copy in a fine facsimile jacket. This one is peculiar because there is no "facsimile" statement to the flap which, in my experience, is usually the case. Very Good / Fine.
