Description

pb Lewi, Grant Your Greatest Strength 2bd Helicon Books, New York, N. Y. 1950 £65 The first paperback edition, after the rare original hardback of 1946. All editions before the Weiser printing of 1986 are now very scarce. Original smallish plain card covers with green title design to front cover and spine. Covers in very good+, almost entirely uncreased condition; light rubbing to parts of spine hinges. Ffep with plain-pencilled price to upper outer margin. Heavy crossings out and a few minor annotations to pp. 8-9 in a kind of translucent red felt-tipped pen or similar, allowing the text still to be clear to read beneath. Evidently a past owner disagreed with Lewi’s views on the sign Aries! Slightly weak print to a few words on p. 17, but they remain legible. Small red-inked X to inner margin of p. 84; tiny c. 2mm black ink stain between two words to p. 85. One line of text underlined in red to p. 91. Externally vgc+; internally only good thanks to the markings to pp. 8-9 in particular, although most other pages are clean; overall, a good+ copy of this rare early edition. Price factors in faults.
