Rachel Carson – Silent Spring – First Edition 1963
£175.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Hamish Hamilton in London, 1963. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper has not been price clipped. It is sunned at the spine, as is usual with this title, with slight chipping present on both edges. There are slight handling marks throughout. There is a previous owner’s inscription on the front fly leaf, dated 1965. The boards have a slight lean and very light bumping at the corners. The text blocks are clean throughout. Overall, this is a very good copy.
This book documented the environmental harm caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides.
