About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of Jenny Uglow's biography of Edward Lear, identified by the copyright page statement 'First published in 2017' and a number line ending in '1'. The book is bound with illustrated boards reproducing Lear's own watercolours and sketches, with a red cloth spine, rather than a separate dust jacket.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – Boards are bright and clean with no major wear noted in the photographs; text block appears clean. As a self-jacketed hardback, there is no separate dust jacket to assess.
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
- Illustrated boards feature Edward Lear's own drawings (MS Typ 55, Houghton Library, Harvard University), credited on the rear cover
- Published by Faber & Faber, London, 2017
- First edition, first printing
- Original UK price of £25 printed on rear cover
This is a pre-owned book. Please look at every photograph: they show its true condition.
