Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. No Dust Jacket (mystery fiction, artic regions ) A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
In pretty good shape with ragged dust cover. I am delighted to have it. I searched for years to find a 1st ed. Mountain Meadow. And years more to get the Canadian 1st ed. Sick Heart River. Now my collection is complete with the original english Sick Heart River.
The downside is that finding the books you want is not the challenge that it used to be. My old Buchan collection is not in good shape, but recently I have added several very good ones. The early Richard Hannays are still too expensive for me, but I am so happy to have a good John Macnab. My childhood is returning.
