THE OLD GANG. A Sporting and Military Memoir.

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original red cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Tim Jacques illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with toning to the text block due to the poor quality paper used in production are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Compete with the fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£13.95 to the front flap).

Signed and dated 'July 1988' by Simon Raven in blue ink on the title page; also signed by Peter Budden, who was a classics and games master at Wellesley House Preparatory School and Raven's landlord (prior to moving to the Charterhouse in London). Peter's brother John (and nephew James, who also signs here) appears throughout this book as 'JBB' (John Basil Budden).
