The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams
First paperback edition, first impression. Inscribed by the author to the inside front cover: 'Best Wishes, Douglas Adams'. The paperback is the true first edition and precedes the hardback which was issued later in the same year.
Edges toned, as usual. Slight rubbing to extremities of wraps with the odd scratch to edges, otherwise an excellent example.
Adam's enduring iconic work based on the radio series of the same name. Rare with these attributes.

First Edition, History, Modern First Editions
The Sword of Honour Trilogy
By Evelyn Waugh
Three volumes. All first editions, first impressions, published by Chapman & Hall between 1952-1961.
All three volumes bound in blue cloth with lettering to spines in gilt and blue top-stain, which remains bright and well-preserved. A little toning to edges of vols I and II. Vol I has a tear to fore-edge of page 145 with some associated creasing and a thin and unobtrusive strip of discolouration to the bottom edge of upper board. The contents, aside from a couple of light and small areas of soiling to pages 310 & 313, are clean throughout. Vol II has some off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs and a small Foyles sticker to front paste-down, else a near fine book. Vol III is a fine and bright copy with just the slighted off-setting to fron and rear endpapers and paste-downs.
A few chips and tears to the edges of the dust jacket of the first two vols with a little spotting or light soiling in places and a couple of tape repairs to upper panel fore-edge of vol I. The dust jacket of vol III is near fine and bright, but for a touch of faint soiling to lower panel and a few light spots to verso.
A very good set overall.

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side
By Agatha Christie
First edition, first impression. A Miss Marple novel and the subject of several TV and film adaptations.
Original red cloth with black lettering to spine. Some browning/off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs with a few spots to edges, mainly to the top. Otherwise very good and clean internally.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has a closed tear to spine head and a couple of other smaller nicks to edges. A couple of areas light staining to upper and lower panels with a soft vertical crease running along upper panel that is only visible upon inspection of the reverse of the jacket. Very good.
