First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with white titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth fresh and bright. The contents with a short closed tear at the fore-edge of the half title are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears and minor loss to the upper front fold corner. Correctly priced 7s 6d net to the front flap. Scarce.
Frank Tilsley's fifth novel. Both H. G. Wells and Cyril Connolly were fans of the Manchester born author of working class fiction.
