Here is one of the greatest novels of the Irish Republican Army, source of the film that won Victor McLaglan his Academy Award. Still an exciting read today, by one of Ireland's great writers. This is a Very Good copy of the First American Edition. Black cloth binding with an attractive art deco design (blue, yellow, pink) on the front board. Clean text; 312 pages. Laid-in is a newspaper clipping photograph of O'Flaherty, which has offset to the endpapers; previous-owner signature in pencil to the FFEP. Mildly bumped, with a moderate amaount of soiling [at a certain angle one perceives part of a faint ring]; top a bit dusty. This is a solid-enough book, and better than just a Reading Copy, but not for the advanced collector. Lacking the dustjacket; in an archival plastic protector. [Note: due to a computer crash, this book may also appear with the inventory # 002738]

Size: 7x4x0; New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!

O'Flaherty's fourth published novel, and perhaps his most famous, due to the movie that gave Victor McLaglen his Oscar. This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of the First Edition, lacking the dustwrapper. Green cloth binding, ruled, with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 272 pages. The dustwrapper is a facsimile. Please note a condition issue: the cover has split along the edges of the spine and the cloth has come loose. Due to this, Quercus must list this as a Binding Copy, in need of repair or restoration.
