Georgette Heyer – Penhallow – First Edition 1942
£975.00
A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1942. A very good (or better) book with a previous owner’s bookplate to the front endpaper. Corresponding name to the front flap of the dust wrapper. Some spotting to the top edge of the dust wrapper. The wrapper shows some conservatory colour repair to the spine. There is a little chipping to the head of the spine and to the corners. The first time we have handled a copy in the last 15 years.
