Nancy Mitford – Christmas Pudding – First Edition 1932
£325.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Thornton Butterworth in London, 1932. This is a very good (or better) copy. Without the rare dust wrapper. The original publisher’s cloth, in an attractive weave, is toned at the spine and slightly bumped at the corners. It appears to have had small repair work to the rear hinge, showing a break in the original weave. The corners are slightly bumped and the spine tips too. The text blocks are markedly clean however, free from foxing though so lightly darkened. The titles bright and in tact with blue tooling. The bookplate of ‘Richard Stanley’ is pasted to the front endpaper, with ‘Jordan 1990’ in blue ink below it. There is a small previous inscription to the front fly, which is also foxed, as are the further preliminaries. Though lacking the dust wrapper, this is a very scarce title in very good (or better) condition.
The author’s second title.
