About This Item
An interesting first edition of Durrell's first book.
The green boards with blue text to the spine are in surprisingly good condition. The front board is slightly bowed, there is some dustiness to one side of the base of the spine where the wrapper is worn, and one corner has a slight bump. Otherwise the boards are in really good clean condition. The page block has spotting to the edges. There are no markings or inscriptions, and no reference to the Book Society - simply, "First published in mcmliii by Faber and Faber Limited"
The dustwrapper is unclipped, showing the price of 15s.
It has wear to its corners and to the top and bottom of the spine. The front flap says "Choice of the Book Society" although this isn't referred to anywhere in the book itself.
