Faber and Faber Limited, second impression August 1947
This edition from Faber which was originally published in 1947 has a cover design by Barnett Freedman, this copy being the second impression of the same year.
Hardback. Publisher’s illustrated cloth with price-clipped dustwrapper. pp [2] blank, [i]-xxix [xxx], [1]-288, including b/w illustrations. Size: 9 x 6.5 inches approx. (230mm x 162mm).
Light wear and rubbing to dustwrapper; a little frayed and torn to top edge; some age-tanning. Cloth very clean and bright. Endpapers lightly foxed/spotted; some staining to fore-edge of page-block with slight encroachment onto page margins; pages age-toned but generally clean throughout; dusty to top edge of page-block.
Overall, showing light wear but otherwise a particularly well preserved and bright copy – very attractive indeed.
