What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper
First edition.
Bound in the publisher's cloth with the original, unclipped dust wrapper.
Written by Robert William Alexander under the pseudonym of Joan Butler. Alexander used this pen name for his satirical style, which echoed other much loved authors such as P. G. Wodehouse and Thorne Smith.
'Set Fair' is indicative of this satirical style and tells the story of a group of individuals in Caipan, in the Caribbean Sea.
Condition
Bound in the publisher's cloth with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with minor shelf wear only. Boards have sprung a touch. Light scattered spots to the fore edge. Dust wrapper is also very smart, with light edge wear, with tape reinforcing the head and tail of the spine on the verso. Light sunning to the spine and the odd light mark, mainly to the rear. Internally, firmly bound with bright, clean pages.
