About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of Claire Tomalin's acclaimed biography of Samuel Pepys, winner of the 2002 Whitbread Book of the Year. The copyright page states 'First published 2002' with no subsequent printings indicated. Hardcover in original dust jacket, priced £20.00 / CAN $39.99 on the flap, price present and unclipped.
The jacket front features a portrait of Pepys, c.1673, and the rear an engraving of Elizabeth Pepys.
Condition
- Book
- Good – text block and boards appear sound based on photographs provided; typical age wear may be present.
- Dust jacket
- Good – the front panel shows noticeable fine surface crackling to the black laminate area, and there is a small crease/tear to the top corner of the rear flap, with light scuffing to the back panel.
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.
