What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Waugh's sole historical fiction novel, set in the age of Emperor Constantine. The story follows Helena of Constantinople and her mission to find the relics of the cross on which Christ was crucified.
Written by the celebrated British author Evelyn Waugh, this work has been noted as a personal favourite of the author.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is generally smart with small marks to the boards, caused by the tape used on the dust wrapper. Spine is slightly cocked. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for offsetting to the end papers and a mark to the rear paste down. Dust wrapper is sound, though chipped to the head and tail of the spine, with creasing and closed tears to the rear of the wrap. Amateurly repaired with tape to the reverse. Tear to the fold of the rear fly leaf. Spotting to the front of the wrap.
Very Good Indeed
