Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. There is an ink name "W E Johns" on the title page, but this does not look to me like an authentic signature in several respects - it looks scratchy and indecisive, the line beneath has a squiggle in it unlike the straight line under other Johns signatures, and the "n" actually looks like an "n", instead of like a "u" or an "a" as in other Johns' signatures. NB: This is being sold with no assurances about the authenticity of the signature, about which I have doubts. Fading to ends of spine and margins of boards.
