Into Battle Shanghai edition
Kelly and Walsh, Shanghai, 1941, 1st China edition, Here is a very scarce edition of this title. It was published in Shanghai in 1941, before Japan entered the war and all the Europeans had to leave Shanghai. It is a completely new setting with different fonts than the English editions. Bound in red cloth with unusual heavy pinkish endpapers. See Langworth p. 210. Cohen A142.5 Book is clean and crisp, red spine is unfaded with bright gilt. Page edges even, but some spots. The pages adjacent to the endpapers have browning. Dustwrapper is darkened on spine, some minor edge wear. Truly rare. I have only sold one of the dustjackets once before, and this is the same one back again. (A66). Item #50135
