Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Hanslip Fletcher (illustrator). 1st Edition. 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.
