Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Editions. Hardbacks. 8vos. pp 312, 307, 322. The printed dedication is to fellow novelist Richard Garnett. Original publisher's dark brown cloth lettered gilt at the spines (with gilt blocking and decorations around the title) and on cover with blind stamp patterning at top and bottom of both covers.

Decent sound very good copies with very slight lean, some rubbing at extremities and slight unobtrusive splitting at rear lower spine hinge of third volume. Clean text, no inscriptions.…
