Title: Orphans of the Sky
Description: Book is Very Good in no dust jacket. Brown imitation cloth binding, First Edition, Victor Gollancz Ltd, London, 1963. A first edition, first state hardback with the brown imitation cloth boards. No dust jacket, the binding is tight, pages free of marks or folds. Paper yellowed but evenly so. Minor freckling of fore-edge. Small black felt pen mark on lower edge of pages, not conspicuous. Covers have faded gilt titling on spine, readable but not clear. No sunfade, boards have minor shelf rubbing and a number of small marks, no fraying or hinge weakness, free of any significant blemishes. The effect is more a general patina from careful handling.

Author: C. S. Forester
Title: Brown on Resolution
Description: Book is Very Good in no dust jacket. First Edition, The Bodley Head, London, 1929. An attractive AUTHOR SIGNED first edition, stating "First Published in 1929" on the copyright page. The flyleaf has an inscription "With complements from C. S. Forester". The blue cloth boards are free of wear with mustard coloured embossed titling on the front panel, and clear titling on the spine. The spine panel has bleached to a light blue, but has faded evenly and looks nice. There is a bit of fade spreading round to the board faces, but these are otherwise a rich royal blue and very clean and straight, with no marks or wear. The binding is sound and tight, the pages generally clean with no foxing spots or unsightly marks on the edges, top edge darkened somewhat, again, evenly so. Small ownername on corner of flyleaf, in pencil, quite deeply indented, but could be erased if desired. The rear fly has a minor chafed area at the outer top corner, where it has had something spilled on it and wiped off too quickly. No other leaves affected, and it has left only a light mark and rough area along half-an-inch of the top outer corner. Overall an impressive copy. 272pp + 8 pp adverts.

Spine OK, very slight crack of paper at extreme lower end, pages stapled together with the staples covered by a neat imitation cloth wrap-around strip, the effect is squared-off looking. Inside pages clean and tidy with colourful pictures on each page. The record is surface scuffed, looks like it has been wiped with a damp cloth at some time. Paper label in excellent condition, record looks like it would play OK, with no bad scratches, and may well clean up to even better condition. It has certainly benefited from being in its protective pocket. There are seven leaves to this square book, which contain the text of the record, which is told to the music of Raymond le Grand. A very interesting early record-insert book, in French of course. Size 12mo keywords: disque album record single 45 fairy tale fable french
