About this Item
Description:
Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Peggy Ramsay ( 1908 - 1991 ) was the foremost play agent of her time. Her letter writing was notorious, both a wondrous motivation and an unforgiving scrutiny to be feared. Marked by searing candour, her correspondence is not only fascinating in itself for the picture it paints of the theatre at the time, but also of value today, in the perception of Peggy's opinions. The cream boards, dustjacket and text block are all very good and tight. Book price includes postage - UK only. Seller Inventory # 06607
