The Story of the Malakand Field Force (Colonial edition in variant binding)
Longmans, Green & Co., London, 1898, This is the 3rd printing of the Colonial edition, November 1898. Cohen makes a case that is was not actually published until early 1899, and likely after the Silver Library edition. This copy conforms in all printed respects to Cohen's description, (Cohen A1.4.a) and has a blank leaf at pp 339-40, and no catalogue. This copy of special interest as the binding is remarkably different than the usual Colonial edition grey, being a very strong blue-green, best seen in a comparison photo. Spine is somewhat discoloured and the gilt is dull. Covers clean, paper browned but not spotted, page edges even, no names. (A1ab). Item #31837
