VICTORY

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles and decoration to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with a tiny ink notation to the top left corner of the rear endpaper are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Four page publisher's catalogue dated Autumn 1915, followed by a 31 page catalogue dated 8/5/15 at the rear. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has several short closed tears, (one secured with a small piece of paper to the underside), small chips at the spine tips and fold corners and a small piece torn from the upper left corner of the front panel. With the publisher's printed price of 6/- to the spine, as called for. A bright and quite attractive example, uncommon thus.

A total of 3460 copies of the first state of the domestic issue were printed. (Cagle A19b).
