About this copy
This is the Faber paperback edition first published in this form in 1962, reprinted several times through to 1979, which is the printing represented by this copy (per the publishing history on the copyright page: 'First published in 1939... First published in this edition 1962. Reprinted 1964, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1972, 1974, 1976 and 1979').
It is not a first edition. Issued in paper wrappers; no dust jacket was ever produced for this format. The original cover price of £1.00 net is printed on the back cover.
Condition
- Book
- Fair – a well-used reading copy showing noticeable staining/discoloration to the front cover, particularly along the top edge and corner, general age-toning to the covers and page edges, and light wear to the spine and corners. Sound and complete, but condition is below a typical collectible standard.
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.
