Paula by Victoria Cross
Second Impression. 377 pages. No dust jacket. This is an ex-Library book. Green cloth. Rebound for Boots Library. Expected library inserts, stamps and inscriptions. Pages are moderately tanned and foxed throughout. Cracking to gutters of a few pages with exposed binding. Occasional thumb-marking present. Faint brown marking to a few pages, text is not affected. Cracking to hinges with exposed binding, causing boards to be slightly loose. Previous owner's inscription to front free endpaper. Scuffing to text-block edges. Binding remains firm. Boards have heavy edge wear with bumping to corners and rub wear all over. Notable tanning to spine and edges. Crushing to spine ends with splits and fraying to cloth. Brown staining to surfaces. Book is notably forward leaning.
