My Greatest Story

  • first

A really nice copy. Hannen Swaffer was a British journalist and critic, and a supporter of Spritualism. Here he narrates some of his experiences among mediums. This is the first edition from 1945. Pages are clean and bright:usually this cheaper wartime paper is often marked or foxed, but not this copy where they are excellent. No inscriptions. Binding is tight. Blue boards are clean with just the slightest give. The most minor shelf wear. A really excellent copy and rare thus. See photos, all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos. More photos on request, thanks!
