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. Book is clean and unworn, good spine colour, some scattered spots on page edges, no names or inscriptions. Correct original dustwrapper is unclipped, but well worn with several ragged losses along edges to 26 mm depth. (ICS A2da.3). Item #25460
