About this copy
This edition was first published in Great Britain in 1979. The copyright page of this copy states "Fourth impression 1982", so this is a 1982 fourth-impression copy of the 1979 edition, not a first printing. Printed in the United States of America.
ISBN 0 904230 99 6. A substantial anthology of 65 supernatural stories gathering well-known authors such as Daphne du Maurier, M. R. James, Dennis Wheatley, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and many others. Jacket photograph by Theo Bergstrom.
Condition
- Book
- Good – black boards, text block appears clean and complete from the photographs supplied. Typical age-related wear expected, no major defects noted on the boards or text pages shown.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – present and believed original to this edition, but showing notable wear: scuffing and dulling across the front and rear panels, scattered marks and light soiling, and a tear near the top of the front flap fold. Price is not visible in the photographs provided.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
