Buchan, John. John Burnet of Barns. John Lane The Bodley Head Limited, 1898.

Price: US$76.03 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: 444, 2(ads.) Stated second edition to the copyright page. A very good minus, clean, tight copy in original publisher's finely ribbed green cloth - with cream titles and detailing to the spine and to the front board. Very little fading to the spine as is often the case with this title. No splitting to the inner hinges - remains very tightly bound. A former owner has made an extensive ink notes regarding this title and has dated it Sept. 1906 to almost the entire front endpaper. Rather unusually he has signed both the front board and the front paste-down in probably the same ink. A later owner has placed a square bookplate (unusual featuring sunflowers and other flowers - a little arts and crafts in style) to the lower corner of the front paste-down partially obscuring the above mentioned name. Apart from the extensive inscription to the front endpaper, a very good, clean, tight well preserved second edition copy.

Price: US$116.96 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: VG- second edition of Buchan's second novel. The novel is set in the late 17th and early 18th centuries and roves between the Scottish Borders and Holland. The second edition is identical in format to the first (Blanchard A7) and was published in the same year. The olive-green cloth has faded on the spine and around the edges of the boards but the spine is not fragile as is often the case. Slightly rubbed at the base of the spine and one or two marks but in good sound condition overall. Very bright internally and the binding remains firm although the front hinge is cracked. The front paste-down carries an attractive printed bookplate of Ellen S Dunlop, the Canadian author and editor. A nice copy of an early Buchan work.
