Johore: Johore Bahru, 1923. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Believed to be first edition and printing. In good dark blue cloth boards, with no titles. The boards are flat, firm and fairly clean. Unmarked end papers; the front free end paper has a long dedication dated 1950. The cut edges are slightly tanned. The text block is tightly bound, straight and with marks from the staples in centre of pages 4 to 13 (decreasing) and with light foxing to some pages. The book appears unread and in very good condition, especially for age. 71 pages plus Appendix. No jacket. Very scarce. A programme on the History Channel on Monday 16 January 2012 called 'Untold History : Senarai Mangsa-Mangsa Pembunuhan Sultan Ibrahim', features the book in a link to the programme found on search engine at: http://untoldhistoriesofmalaya.blogspot.com/2012/01/untold-history-senarai-mangsa-mangsa.html This link shows a blue copy of the book with another photo of the chapter headings - just like the copy we have - plus a photo of another dedication.

About Clevedon Community Bookshop

Clevedon Community Bookshop, co-operatively owned, opened on 31 December 2011 and now has a general stock of approximately 20,000 books. Our bookshop in Copse Road is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm. The co-operative comprises just over 600 members from around the world and was set up to stop the only second-hand bookshop in our town from closing. The benefit of being a member/shareholder is only social: no-one benefits financially. All profits are used to improve the bookshop and its stock, and, through events, to contribute to the literacy and literary profile of our town. The Bookshop Manager has fifteen years' experience in second-hand bookselling. Email us if you would like to join our co-operative and thus jointly own our bookshop with us.
