Description

hb/dj Reid, Vera W. Towards Aquarius 1st Rider & Co., 68 Fleet Street, London, E.C.4 n.d. £100 Author’s preface dated March 1944. Library records suggest 1946 as having been the actual date of publication, with the delay presumed caused by the war. Original full olive green cloth in near-fine condition. Deep blue titling to front board and spine still strong and clear. In vgc- original dramatically colour-illustrated dj, which has a 1-inch tear top the top of its front spine hinge, partly crossing spine, and light chipping to extremities of spine hinges, plus slight chipping to some extremities of flap-folds, and moderate general edge-wear to top and bottom edges of front panel, including a few short tears to both these edges. Outer margin of ffep slightly rippled. A little faint plain-pencilled mark-up to early pages within, chiefly marginal brackets and occasional underlinings, petering out after p. 37 and could be erased if unwanted. No permanent markings or other faults found. Still a near-fine copy in near-very-good original dust jacket, which is rare in any condition and adds significant visual impact to the book
