    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The first edition.

    In the publisher's original hardback. 

    Published to raise money for the 'Save The Children Fund'. 

    With a foreword by Princess Anne. 

    Illustrated with the occasional monochrome vignette. 

    This very scarce comedic work features a collection of 'pet hates' contributed by popular and noted figures, such as Agatha Christie with her hatred of marmalade pudding, Shirley Bassey and her hatred of appearing on television and Bing Crosby and his dislike of bad weather. Many of the anecdotes feature facsimile signatures.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original pictorial hardback. Externally very smart with fading to the spine and extremities, the odd minor mark, and slight bumping. Internally firmly bound and clean with light age toning to the extremities of the pages.

    Very Good Indeed
