About this copy
New Era Edition, undated in the photographed pages. This is the New Era Edition, a graduated shorthand exercise book adapted for private study or public classes. The copyright page shows the publisher's addresses and 'Made in Great Britain at the Pitman Press, Bath'.
No printing date or reprint statement is visible, so the printing cannot be confirmed. Cloth-backed paper-covered boards with a blue cloth spine. No dust jacket.
A previous owner's name, Kathleen Quarenden, Clarke's College, is written in ink on the front endpaper.
Condition
- Book
- Fair – Worn boards and corners, soiling and staining to the front board, frayed spine head, loose threads at the spine foot, and toned pages. Previous owner's ink name on endpaper.
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.
