Book Description Sidgwick & Jackson, 1987. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression of Lynda La Plante's The Legacy. This book is in very good condition. The blue boards show minor bumping to the edges. The gilt titling on the spine is bright. The pages are clean and the binding is tight, though the binding has separated from the spine at the top. See image. A previous owner has written a personal dedication on the ffep. The dust jacket is in very good condition, with some bumping to the edges ans rubbing to the corners. The dust jacket is unclipped. Please note that this is a heavy book weighing nearly 1.5Kg. I will endeavour to send this, plus packing, at less than 2kg, but if the packing takes the final weight over 2Kg, this will impact final cost, and we would need to agree the extra postage before completion of sale.
