Access to HistoryGERMANY: THE THIRD REICH 1933-19453rd editionby Geoff LaytonFirst published by Hodder Murray, 2005
This reprint of the 3rd edition published 2010
Ex public library paperback with fitted plastic library overcover, 17.5 x 24.5 cm, iv +218 pages, with black & white photographs and illustrations within the text.
The library fitted plastic overcoverremains complete and in very good condition, still continuing to provide excellent additional protection to the paperback cover underneath.
The spine of the book is square and uncreased. The rest of the paperback cover has been similarly well shielded and remains is in very good, undamaged condition.
The binding is tight and secure with no loose or detached pages
The marks of previous public library ownership are as follows (see pictures):
- Small catalogue sticker on the bottom of the spine, underneath the plastic overcover
- Library barcode and catalogue stickers on the title page, with surface traces alongside the hinge from the neat and careful removal of a previous library lending sheet (small edge mark from rubber stamp which must have strayed over the edge of the lending sheer
- Blank library (security?) sticker under the inner flap of the plastic overcover on the inside of the back cover
Apart from the points noted above, the inside of the book is unmarked and the printed contents remain in very good, clean condition throughout.
Whilst this is clearly an ex-library copy of the book, the residuals from library ownership are relatively minimal and I would suggest that the negative aspects of these are significantly outweighed by the protective and stiffening benefit that continues to be provided by the library fitted (but still removable) plastic overcover.
