Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First of the Spellmount edition (Number Line to 1). This book was originally published in either 1830 or 1835. You can see the black covers of the book itself in the photographs provided. They are very clean and unworn. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright (Note that the light white vertical line in the photos of the covers can be seen above and below the book as well. It's not on the book. It's a recent scanner issue). The page edges of the book are very clean. The gray inside covers and end papers are in perfect condition. The book is square, straight, and very solidly bound with nicely tight pages throughout. These pages are quite bright and are free of any soiling. I did not see any creasing or dogeared corners. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in this book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photographs. It is also very clean. It is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. There are no tears. There's a little bit of crinkling at the top edge of the spine and at the top right-hand corner of the front. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover.

First published in 1830, this is a first edition, first impression thus of 1997. Some very slight edge wear to top of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£16.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 176pp, map endpapers. John Kincaid's memoirs are among the most important records of the Napoleonic Wars and were one of the three principal sources for the Sharpe television series.His presence at famous battles alone would not have made Kincaid's memoirs the classic they have become. This unassuming Scottish officer narrates many minor incidents, often of a humorous or embarrassing nature, which doubtless happened to many soldiers of the period but would otherwise have gone unrecorded. Kincaid awoke on the morning of Waterloo to find that his horse had wandered off, and spent much of his time before the battle trying to find it. Later in the bottle, Kincaid attempted to draw his sabre to ward off attacking French cavalrymen, only to find that the previous night's rain had rusted it fast in its scabbard. Ideal for all Sharpe fans.
