Beschreibung

639 pp., sm 8vo, red cloth hardback, except for first and last pages, clean text unmarked, sound binding. This book was an exhibit in the largest book trial in English history. The thief signed each book front & back, and numbered his 50,000+ stolen books, this one being 12036, and carefully removed all evidence of original owner; here he removed the library stamp front & back. The theft trial was in all the main dailies, and thief had his sentence reduced by hekping police identify some of the books. The rest were obstructing a police firing range & were thus sold off at a Newmarket auction. A xerox of a press report of all this will be included with the book. A perfectly good clean modern war study book, now made famous as a trial exhibit. Size: Crown. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005307
