About This Item
Newton Abbot, U.K.: David & Charles, 1981. Like d'Artagnan, a penniless Dumas went to Paris as a young man to seek his fortune, with dazzling results. Michael Ross makes Dumas' life every bit as fascinating as one of his historical novels. The book is in As New condition with an As New dust jacket. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The book is bound in brown paper-covered boards with die-stamped gilt spine titles. I'm not familiar with this particular British publisher, and this book may possibly be a First Edition since no later printing history is mentioned. The book measures 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches and includes 293 pages.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
