Edition details
* H.M.S. Ulysses — Collins, first published October 1955 and reprinted October 1955; an early second impression, without a dust jacket.
* The Last Frontier — Collins, London, 1959; no later printing statement is visible, so it appears to be a UK first edition.
* Puppet on a Chain — stated First Edition in the United States of America, copyright 1969.
* San Andreas — stated First Edition, copyright 1984 and published in 1985.
* Other books include a mixture of U.S. editions, later printings and Book Club Editions.
Lot is in acceptable to good reading condition, with condition varying by book. Most books retain dust jackets; H.M.S. Ulysses does not.
Dust jackets show rubbing, fading, discoloration, scratches, creasing, chips, tears and paper loss. South by Java Head has heavy jacket loss near the bottom of the spine. Covers have shelf wear and bumped or worn corners.
Pages and page edges show age toning, foxing, spotting and occasional stains. One book has a pronounced brown moisture stain along the outer edge of its front endpaper and a previous-owner address label. At least one other volume has a handwritten birthday inscription dated October 31, 1985.
Bindings appear readable and usable, but no page-by-page collation has been performed. Please examine all photographs carefully; photos are considered part of the description.
