About This Item
Dennis Dobson. First edition published by Dennis Dobson in 1964. This is a very good or better copy. The jacket has no loss at all and hasn't been price clipped. There is minor wear to the top left hand corner of the front panel. The boards have discolouration to the edges. There is a previous owner's name on the half title page along with faint foxing marks to the side text block. Overall a very good or better copy. It has been signed by BB to the title page without dedication. A true rarity from 'BB' and is hard to find in collectible condition with the wrapper in commerce. I've not seen a signed copy before. BB carries out several expeditions into the countryside and writes about it here along with providing some lovely illustrations. A very rare book to find signed. . Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1964.
