About this Item

This 6.25 x 8.25, 280 page book is a rarity and a highly sought-after title for WW I collectors. We have never seen another book of this title. This copy is covered with bright red cloth and brightly decorated with gilt lettering and decorations to both front and spine. There is a beautiful color picture pasted to the front cover and is the same illustration as is featured on the frontispiece. There is some fading to the spine coloring and lettering. This book shows edge-wear to the tops and bottoms of the cover, the four corners are worn and showing through in places, and there has been some bumping of one front corner. This is some crinkling and even small tears to the top and bottom of the spine. The interior of the book is in very good condition and possibly even better. The hinges and binding are still firm and secure. There is a previous owner's stamped name on the ffep, and again on the front flyleaf, and also in one other spot in the text of the book. There is considerable foxing throughout the book but this has not in any way compromised the readability or the illustrations of the volume. There are two pages (pg. 61 & 63) that have small pieces missing from the edge but again this does not intrude into the text itself. Surely one of the true highlights of this books are its illustrations, with 57 full-page artistic drawings of WW I battle scenes. This book was printed at the Chapel River Press, Kingston, Surrey - - but there is no further notation as to the printing date. This is an original publication and not a reprint in any way. 280 pages. Seller Inventory # 1505-423
