The Observer’s Book of British Awards and Medals

Edward C. Joslin
Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd / J. B. Hayward & Son, 1st edition 1974

A variant copy with the cancel title page of the medal specialist shop J. B. Hayward & Son.

Hardback in price-clipped dustwrapper. 191pp including b/w illustrations plus colour plates. Size: 5.75 x 3.75 inches approx. (145mm x 93mm).

Light age toning to dustwrapper especially to spine; light sunning to spine lettering but remaining strong; light wear to head of spine/rear panel juncture. Boards a touch bruised to upper corners; a little spotted and marked to top edge and fore-edge of page block; small patch of adhesion damage to rear endpaper.

Overall, showing light wear but otherwise a nice, clean and bright copy – a somewhat uncommon variant of this title.
