the Knapsack (Variant binding)
Book Description
This uncommon (variant) binding was produced with the service man in mind, designed to become part of their kit bag or knapsack...hence the title. Press-stud biding was designed to keep everything neat & tidy with the minimum of fuss.
Contents include a large selection of prose and verse from a great number of authors and poets.
Dealer Notes
Smaller pocket book size was designed to facilitate easy of carriage & use. Approx 4" x 6.5".
Contents are clean & complete, inside the front cover is a (crossed-out) name and above it a (service?) number.
Inside the rear cover the press-stud has rusted a little and no longer works properly. It has left a small round rust stain opposite.
