Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder and Staughton , 1936 . First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed/Very Good. 8" by 5". None . The first edition of this novel by John Buchan featuring the popular characters 'Richard Hannay' and 'Sandy Arbuthnot', in the original dust wrapper. The first edition. In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Part of the 'Hannay' adventure series. This work was written by Scottish author John Buchan. The work is the last of his novels to feature the popular characters Richard Hannay and Sandy Arbuthnot, with Hannay's popularity heightening after the creation of the Alfred Hitchcock's movie 'The 39 Steps', inspired by Buchan's novel under the same name. This novel follows Hannay as he protects the son of a man who once knew, who is now the heir to a great and secret fortune. In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally very smart with rubbing to the head of the rear board and spine, bumping to the head and tail of the spine and slight marks. The wrap is sound with a tidemark and loss to the head of the rear and spine, fading to the spine, creasing, the odd chip, very small closed tears and marks. Offsetting and spotting to the rear. Internally firmly bound with clean and age toned pages. Very Good Indeed
