About This Item
Frederick Muller Ltd, 1939. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG+/VG. BEMANSBRIDGE, Norman. 1st Impression. 18.7 x 25.1cm, pictorial paper covered boards, 60pp with black and white illustrations throughout. Together with an original unclipped dust jacket with a 3/6 net price. The boards have been well protected by the dust jacket and are clean and bright with only a little shelf wear to the bottom edge and a bruise to the top of the spine and top fore edge corner of the front board. Internally, there is a gift inscription to the front free endpaper and light spotting to the prelims and last couple of pages. The dust jacket is very good considering its age, having a 2cm closed tear and a 1.5 cm right angled tear extending along the top edge of the rear board. There is some rubbing to the shoulders and spine tips and a little creasing along the top edge mainly by the tear. A really nice copy of this Alice in Wonderland parody produced at the beginning of World War II which includes caricatures of Hitler, Chamberlain and Stalin. The dust jacket is now in a protective removable cover (not shown in the images). Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
