The Surgeon's Mate Patrick O'brian

HARDBACK - A near fine or better book, bound in the publishers maroon cloth boards with bright gilt lettering present to the spine. Internally, there is a small faint tape remnant mark present to the front end paper, otherwise a fine copy that is free of any foxing or finger marks inset. Free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition with no loss or tears, but with the merest hint of fading to the red lettering present to the spine. A clean wrapper with no toning to the rear panel. There is a faint toning line to the rear flap, else a very nice example with the publisher's printed price of £5.95.net present to the bottom corner of the front flap. One of the scarcer Aubrey/ Maturin titles to acquire.
