The Ionian Mission – SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR BY WAY OF A TIPPED IN LABEL – Patrick O’Brian

Description

HARDBACK – A very good or better book, bound in the publishers red cloth boards with bright gilt lettering present to the spine. Internally, the front end paper and second text free page have been adhered to the front paste-down. This is almost certainly a publisher’s binding fault, as the rest of the text is very clean indeed with just the merest hint of foxing to the text block, but free of any internal foxing or finger marks. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR BY WAY OF A SMALL TIPPED IN LABEL. Free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. Please note, this book is not an ex-library copy. A lightly read book in nice overall condition. The dust wrapper is also in very good or better condition with no loss or tears, but with light foxing to the front and rear flaps. There is light toning to the rear panel, with light fading to the spine, but much less than what is normally encountered with this title. The publisher’s printed price of £6.95.net is present to the front flap. One of the scarcest Aubrey/ Maturin titles to acquire. Seller Inventory # 002124
