Sobre este artículo
The Dial Press, New York, 1946. Reprint. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good/Poor Condition. Burgundy coloured cloth covered boards with gilt facsimile signature of author to the front panel and gilt coloured illustration and titles to the back strip Illustrated dustwrapper with white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. Photograph of author to the rear dustwrapper panel. Quoting from the front fold over panel blurb " ... That Day Alone is the Odyssey of a clear thinking and compassionate witness of contemporary history who probes beneath the surface of events in his untiring search for the human equation, the personal turning point, the fateful minute that determines the course of mankind." Softening and rubbing of the back strip edges with rubbing of the book corners and slight bumping to the top book corners. Light tanning of the text block edges and pages with faint the end pages. What can I say about the dustwrapper? – apart from the fact that it is in atrocious condition – please see photograph of Chipping loss, to the dustwrapper corners and to the top back strip edge. There is a tear that goes the fullwidth across the back strip and then for 3 1/2 inches down to the lower book edge – with associated creasing. Creasing and some Chipping to the dustwrapper edges with rubbing, sunning and some handling marks to the dustwrapper. The dustwrapper is "loose". Browning and staining to the verso. Some insect trails can be seen to the rear panel. Third Printing. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [4], V, [3], 548, [4] pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.
