Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. VG- in copy dustwrapper. Blanchard A4. Buchan's second published work; a collection of essays and stories 8 of which had not appeared in print previously. The dark brown cloth spine is rubbed at the ends with a couple of tiny splits in the cloth at each end. The boards are worn at the corners and are lightly darkened with age. There is a very small ink (?) stain near the foot of the front board. Internally the book is very bright with no foxing or brown spots. There is a small rubber-stamped name in the top corner of the half-title. The rear hinge is cracked and the front hinge is beginning to crack but the binding is generally firm. However, there is a little looseness at the top of the front hinge an easy repair for a binder. This copy has a photocopy only of the original, extremely rare, dustwrapper. The wrapper that was copied was obviously in a fairly worn state with missing corners but was largely complete.
