Description
A virtually Fine copy (ever so slightly canted, foxing to edges of page block and very minor foxing to endpapers and pastedowns, pages gently age toned as expected), in a Very Good + to Near Fine dust jacket (spine lightly sunned, quite light edge wear, light soiling at lower portion of rear panel, trivial foxing and age toning to flaps), with a SIGNED PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION BY C. S. FORESTER on the title page. An installment in Forester's famed Hornblower series, inscribed and signed on the title page by Forester as follows: "With compliments from / C. S. Forester - " and with a short underlining of his name by Forester. The novel wears the Val Brio designed dust jacket, which has been SIGNED BY VAL BRIO. Signed copies are quite scarce indeed. A very nice rare copy with a SIGNED PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION BY C. S. FORESTER AND WITH THE DUST JACKET SIGNED BY VAL BRIO.
