What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First edition. Set during the Second World War, Waugh's novel follows the story of Guy Crouchback, and starts with his being sent back to England in disgrace. Having himself been in service during the Second World War, this series of novel loosely draw upon Waugh's own wartime experience. Written by Evelyn Waugh, an English writer known for his novels, biographies and travel books, as well as a journalist and book reviewer. He is perhaps best known for his work 'Brideshead Revisited', and the satire 'Decline and Fall'.

Condition

In the original full blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light wear to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart with light wear and the odd small closed tear to the panel edges. Light sunning to the spine and extremities with the odd spot to the flyleaves. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot and minor age toning to the endpapers.

Very Good
