John Wyndham : The Chrysalids : First UK Edition in Jacket 1955

The Crysalids

By John Wyndham

Published by Michael Joseph, London, 1955. First UK Edition, First Impression. Hardback book in original dust jacket, 8vo, 239 (last page not numbered).

CONDITION
A very good first edition. The dust jacket remains unclipped and has no tears. There is a very small archival repair to the rear of the jacket to a very small tear at the front spine edge (see fourth image provided). The jacket is now protected in a removable mylar sleeve for protection. Boards and spine are good. Endpapers good with a tad of spotting. Couple of light spots to title page. Text clean throughout and free from foxing, stains etc. Some spotting to page edges when book is closed. No names or writing to the book. Overall a very good first edition.
