Johnnie Sahib

Descripción:

Johnnie Sahib, Paul Scott, Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1952, First Edition First Impression, Rare Subsequently famous for The Jewel in the Crown and ongoing The Raj Quartet saga, Paul Scott's brilliant first novel tackles the intricate web of conflicting emotions which entangles the lives of ordinary men. Against the background of besieged Bengal, Manipur and Burma he sees clearly the spirit which prompts them to affection and loyalty, hate and selfishness. First printings of the above with dustjackets are exceptionally rare in any condition but almost never seen as good as this copy. This would categorise as a very good book in very good dust jacket, in incredible condition for a book 65 years old. The binding is tight and straight, the boards are clean and bright with one small age mark to each of front and back, the endpapers are clean with feint minor foxing and a small neat inscription to the front, the pages are clean, unmarked, without tears and relatively mildly toned given age, as are the page edges. The unclipped dust jacket, protected in a transparent removable plastic cover, is clean without tears and has retained its colour well. There is very minor shelf wear and some browning to the rear cover. Overall a super copy and very collectable. Will be despatched, wrapped carefully in bubblewrap and a cardboard box.
