One volume "Wainwright in Lakeland", First Edition, 170/1100, signed. CONDITION REPORT: This is the 1983 edition. The dustcover has a further clear cellophane protective cover. The white ground of the dustcover has faded with time. There is a small 1.5 cm tear to the top left corner front of the dustcover. Each corner of the book is in good order with no folds or knocks. The top edge of the pages are foxed and marked, the bottom edge and side edges are relatively clean. There are a few small fox stain spots throughout the book but I reiterate only a few. This is the Limited Edition version in green cloth binding, limited to 1,000 copies. This issue is No 170 and signed by the author. Overall internally clean apart from the foxing spots mentioned. Bindings are good. I would rate this book as being good to very good.
