Title:

The Watcher By the Threshold
|
|
Description:
|
Book is Very Good in no dust jacket. Black Cloth binding, First Edition,
William Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1902. True first edition, with adverts dated 2/02 at rear. Not the pictorial publishers cloth though, a contemporary black cloth binding with gilt spine titling and no publisher's colophon. Does not appear to be a library copy, as no labels, stamps or inscriptions are evident. Then again, the text block is in decent condition, with minor dustiness, the odd foxing freckle and corner fold, so why do away with the pictorial cloth and rebind in plain black? An enigma not out of keeping with the laid-in press cutting, which refers to a copy of the same title being discovered at a charity booksale with a Buchan letter laid in - referring to a character Mr Sandiman as being fictitious, yet no such character featured in any of Buchan's prior works. We emphasise there is no link between this copy and the copy referred to in the clipping, other than that they both turned up in Edinburgh. Perhaps this binding was a true publisher binding but intended for use by libraries, yet was never issued, hence the lack of labels/stamps. Either way, the text block IS the true first state, with correctly dated adverts.
