Masefield, John - Melloney Hotspur

A UK first edition, first impression.

WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy is bright and complete. It is unclipped. The front panel is bright and unfaded, showing a trivial hint of bruising at the top edge. The spine has darkened and is inconsequentially rubbed at the ends. The back panel is sound. Looks sharp in protective plastic.

BOOK : The book is square and very tight. The boards are clean, the gilt lettering on the front board and on the spine is sharp. The lower corners and the spine ends are inconsequentially bruised. The pages are clean. No foxing. There is ghosting to the endpapers. The closed page edges are bright. No dog-eared pages. The binding is solid - no cracked hinges. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A nice copy in a protected wrapper.
