Tempest (Jack) Love and the Legion
£150
[London], Wright & Brown, [1931].
First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 7/6.
“Much has been written recently about the Foreign Legion and the sinister glamour which surrounds it has inspired many authors to take it as a background for their stories” (jacket blurb). This is it seems another example of such, in attractive jacket. The author’s name seems like it should be a pseudonym, but if so we could not unravel the true identity behind it.
Out of stock
Partial toning to free endpapers; some rubbing and very minor chipping to jacket edges, but overall very good.
