Description

HARDBACK – A near fine book bound in the publisher’s red cloth boards with silver lettering to the spine. There is a little pushing to the spine tips, else very clean boards indeed. Internally the inner text is clean and fresh with no signs of foxing to the inner text, but with very mild toning to the closed text block. There is a W.C.S LTD stamped to the bottom page block, but free of any other stamps or previous owner names or inscriptions inset. Inscribed by the author to the recipient and close friend Edwin Moore who was a senior non-fiction editor at Collins subsequently HarperCollins from 1986 until 2004. In 1995 he commissioned George MacDonald Fraser to write the introduction and author biographies for an omnibus edition of five adventure stories including King Solomon’s Mines, The Prisoner of Zenda (which was the inspiration for Royal Flash), and The Lost World. The inscription reads TO EDWIN – / ALL GOOD WISHES / GEORGE MACDONALD FRASER / The dust wrapper is in very good condition with a little toning to the wrapper, but with no loss or tears, The dust wrapper has been publisher price clipped, and has an official Collins price sticker of £9.95 above the clipping. A very nice example, a superb association copy.
