Hardback. First edition. The 40th title in the Chalet School series. Very slight binding fault - one gathering, K, is a couple of mm shorter than the others and has therefore missed being trimmed to the bottom edge. Blue boards with gilt titles and gilt ruled lines to spine are very clean and neat but has a hint of sunning through a small patch of loss to the dust jacket spine, and similarly sunned to the to the very edges. Dust jacket has a suggestion of dustiness to the white back panel but is very clean and bright to the illustrated front and spine. Previous Owner’s name neatly to endpaper. Not price clipped.
