Gloucester. A Shell Guide.

SHELL GUIDE. Anthony West.

Verlag: Faber, London, 1939

Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing) of this most uncommon Shell Guide, the first new title issued in the series following Faber's take-over. Small 4to. 61pp. White boards with internal wire spiral binding. With a colour map and over sixty photographs including five contributed by John Betjeman. Cloth a little discoloured from handling and with some unsightly water-staining to base of upper and lower boards, also affecting the pastedowns, endpapers and a tiny portion of the base of the title page, although the remainder of the leaves are spared. Water-staining aside this is a nice, bright copy of an uncommon Shell Guide, complete with non-price-clipped dust wrapper depicting a 19th century engraving of the interior of Gloucester Cathedral, dust marked, chipped with some loss to head and base of spine panel and tips of several corners, and with evidence of water-staining. This unfortunate staining aside, this is quite a crisp copy of one of the scarcest titles in the series. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ARC90380
