C.S.LEWIS

Geoffrey Bles, The Centenary Press 1940

1st Edition/1st Printing

An extremely rare Lewis first edition, particularly in its jacket. Black cloth binding with light rubbing to head and heel of spine and spotting on outer page edges.  The paper label on spine which is secure and very white. Ownership inscription dated November 1940 on free front endpaper. A few light (and easily erasable) pencillings in the margins, otherwise text is clean throughoutThe unclipped dustjacket has edge wear and chipping. It also has split along the rear spine seam about 4 inches and has rubbing along edges. The white portion of jacket has aged and has the usual soiling; all this said, it is unusal to find jacket in any state and so this is to be treasured. It is now in a new Brodart protective sleeve to prevent further damage. Ownership inscription dated November 1940 on free front endpaper.

PRICE: $595.00
