The River War (An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Sudan)
Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, 1940, hardcover. This is the 3rd printing of this edition, and easily the scarcest of the 5 printings of this popular edition. The scarcity of this printing results in a premium and thus its appeal is primarily to completists. Those just wanting a readable early edition should look to the 1933, 1949, or 1951 printings. Similar in appearance to the 1933, the cloth is thinner and of different texture. here is a fine crisp copy in the truly scarce dustwrapper. Book is tight, foredges even and unspotted, top edges soiled and spotted, contents clean, owner name on free endpaper. The dustwrapper is correct, unclipped, some wear at spine end with a small piece gone at head of spine, max depth 4 mm. (ICS A2da.3). Item #14114
