Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 832 pages + plates. 11 colour plates (2 fold-out) : 30 cm. Summary:Chums was established as a boys' weekly paper in 1892 by Cassell & Company, in direct competition with The Boy's Own Paper which had been launched thirteen years earlier. It attracted readers with tales of daring and adventure such as Max Pemberton's 'The Iron Pirate' and Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'; these stories, interspersed with competitions, editorials and rich illustrations, earned Chums considerable popularity. The publication was also notable for its sponsorship of the National Naval Cadets, for which it served as an enrolment tool from 1909, and of the British Boy Scouts. In 1927 Cassell & Company sold Chums to The Amalgamated Press, already known in the field for their publication of Schoolgirl's Weekly and The Modern Boy. In July 1932 it was reduced to monthly circulation, and two years later reduced again to an annual. Publication finally ceased in September 1941 with the onset of wartime paper shortages.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. 832 pages (complete). A resolute binder of editions of "Chums" for 1924. A paper for boys with adventure stories, school and rugby stories, articles on how to make things, heroes, thrilling true tales. This is sound, heavy. It is much worn all about from storage and aging. The edges are worn from handling and storage. The boards are valiant but sound and are effective (for emotion and purpose). Within, the initial pages have wear. The contents have tanning and foxing from age. However, the pages are clear, generous, vividly conceived, energetic. Despite the wear and aging the pages still exude youthfulness and vigour, a glint in the eye. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.…
