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.

A very good or better example of an uncommon edition of the author's second published novel.

By Charles M. Schulz
First edition, first impression. Based on the first ever TV special adaptation of the Peanuts comic strip, which aired in December 1965.
Original pictorial boards with burgundy endpapers and paste-downs. Very minor and isolated instances of rubbing to spine ends and corners with slight dustiness to a portion of the top edge, else fine and clean throughout with no names, marks or inscriptions.

A beautiful copy of a book that is rarely found in the dust jacket and in such good condition.
