About this copy
This is the first printing of Donald Sinden's second volume of theatrical memoirs, the sequel to 'A Touch of the Memoirs'. The copyright page states 'First printed 1985' with no further reprint notices. This copy is an ex-library book, formerly held by Dorset County Library, with a withdrawal stamp, library barcode, and remnants of a library label on the front free endpaper.
The dust jacket carries the original printed price of £9.95 net in UK on the front flap and has not been price-clipped.
Condition
- Book
- Good – text block is clean and tight; ex-library markings (stamp, label, barcode) present on the front endpaper as noted above and visible in photos.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – creasing to the spine panel and both flaps, surface rubbing, and edge wear at head and tail; a faint vertical crease is visible on the front panel near the spine.
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.
Collector's notes
- Sequel to Sinden's 'A Touch of the Memoirs', covering his career through the 1960s and the RSC's 'Wars of the Roses'
- Published by Hodder and Stoughton, 1985
- First printing, as stated on the copyright page
- Dust jacket priced £9.95 net in UK, not price-clipped

This is a pre-owned book. Please look at every photograph: they show its true condition.
