About this Item
A rare opportunity to acquire original, vintage copies of Richmal Crompton's justly famous Just William series. Books 1-12 are present in this series and consist of hardbacks issued from 1929, each containing a collection of short stories, often published previously in Home magazine. None of these books satisfy all points of first edition, first printing with a jacket - some lack jackets; most are later impressions, or both. But they are very close to the original publications and come from the same publishing plates. Please note: the Lofts & Adley (1980) bibliography has been used to clarify points in these books. Book 1: Just William, 1929 reprint, no jacket, good. Book 2: More William, 1942 reprint, jacket, good. Book 3: William Again, 1934 reprint, no jacket, very good. Book 4: William the Fourth, first 1924, no jacket, good. Book 5: Still William, first 1925, no jacket, very good. Book 6: William the Conqueror, 1927 reprint, no jacket, very good. Book 7: William the Outlaw, first 1927, no jacket, very good. Book 8: William in Trouble, first 1927, no jacket, good. Book 9: William the Good, 2nd, 1928, jacket from 20th impression, very good. Book 10: William, first cheap edition thus 1929, no jacket, very good. Book 11: William the Bad, 1940 reprint, jacket, good. Book 12: William's Happy Days, 1951 reprint, good. Seller Inventory # 1318

In the UK, we normally use Royal Mail.
We deliberately recycle packaging. Your books will be given much care and attention before dispatch and will be sent in pre-used materials.
As a matter of course, all our books are cleaned sensitively, researched, catalogued, photographed and thus treated with the respect a vintage artefact deserves. We then re-cover most of our books in new, industry standard protective wrappers. These are inert, acid-free, and will not harm the book or dust jacket. We don't do this only if there is already a clean and serviceable wrapper on the book, or if to remove a previous covering would cause damage.
