Beschreibung

4to., First Edition, with a coloured frontispiece, 3 coloured plates, and very numerous monochrome photographs (a number full-page and illustrations in the text; free endpapers lightly spotted; original blue cloth, upper board with mounted coloured illustration (not repeated in text), upper board and backstrip lettered in black, lower hinge webbing exposed (but binding entirely sound), a remarkably well-preserved, bright, clean copy with almost no trace of the usual fading and soiling. W E Johns [of 'Biggles' fame] is a major contributor. He is credited with four stories and all the coloured plates, but was almost certainly responsible for further content. The first 'Biggles' book was published in the following year. A WONDERFUL COPY OF A SPLENDID PERIOD PIECE AND VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 21777
