Stories of the Great War

edited by Wingrove Willson
Aldine Publishing Company Ltd, 1st edition [1929] (ref. British Library)

Uniform with other titles in the ‘Wingrove Willson Adventure Books’ series.

A collection of short stories.

Hardback in dustwrapper. 144pp including b/w illustrations plus four colour plates. 9 x 7 inches approx. (232mm x 178mm).

Dustwrapper rubbed and worn especially to spine ends and corner tips; two tears to lower edge of rear panel; a little foxed and dusty. Covers slightly bumped to head of spine and to upper corners, plate to front board clean and bright; occasional light foxing throughout but generally pages clean; page-block dusty to top edge, spotting to fore-edge.

Nonetheless, a particularly well preserved copy and uncommon to find with its dustwrapper – quite lovely.
