Description
First Edition (SD). This book is in excellent condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean, no soiling at all. The black lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges are in excellent shape. The corners look very good, just a few specks of rubbing. The spine ends have only light crinkling. The page edges look very good. The interior of the book is in top-notch shape. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling at all. I'm also not finding any creasing of any kind. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. There are a handful of illustrations, with photographs of Sir Stafford Cripps and Mahatma Gandhi, Muhammad Jinnah, and Jawaharlal Nehru. All the illustrations are in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's in pretty nice condition. I don't see any conspicuous staining. The rear cover is probably toned. There is a tiny bit of loss at the top and bottom spine ends, also at the top edge of the front cover just adjacent to the middle edge. There's one thin tear off the top edge of the rear cover and a couple of tiny scuffs off the top edge of the front cover. The flaps are in decent shape. There is a thin crease along the inside edge of the front flap. All four corners of the flaps are neatly clipped. However, the price is present and unaffected. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'The story of the Cripps Mission is told without bias by a man who cannot regard it as a complete failure, since for the first time in the history of Anglo-Indian relations, the essential sincerity of the British government in general and its emissary in the person of Sir Stafford Cripps in particular was in the main not questioned by the Indian people or their leaders.'
