What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Both volumes are signed by the author to the limitation pages.
Both volumes are in their original unclipped dust wrappers.

'Harmer John', published in 1924, one of two hundred and fifty large paper copies. This curious novel follows a Swedish body builder who visits Walpole's fictional cathedral town of Polchester.
