    Description

    Author's Presentation Copy, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed

    The third edition.

    The author's presentation copy, inscribed by the author to the front free endpaper: "Mr Strain, with grateful remembrance of kindness shown, Chas Cook".

    Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece, monochrome vignettes and full page monochrome illustrations. 

    Fascinating insight into prisons from around the world, documenting the conditions, and the lives of prisoners. The work is written by Chas Cook, who spent years travelling to various prisons supplying the word of god to the prisoners. 

    In the publisher's original decorative cloth.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original decorative cloth. Externally very smart with fading to the spine, marks to the boards and spine, and minimal bumping to the extremities. Light spotting to the endpapers with author's presentation inscription to the front free endpaper. Hinge weak after pp. 64. Internally, binding tender in places, with lightly age toned pages with the odd spot.

    Very Good
