The item that you are viewing corresponds to the book ‘Roach’ by Captain L. A. Parker published as part of the highly collectable ‘How to Catch them’ series. The book is
a fifth printing published in 1961
by Herbert Jenkins Limited.
The book is being offered for sale in a poor/average condition
for its age. The book comes with its original non-price-clipped dustwrapper, which
has the usual rub, shelf-wear and nibbling associated with its periphery/edges.
Specifically, the dustwrapper has two sections missing: one from the base of its
spine, and a second, a V shaped section, missing from its rear, upper edge. The
dustwrapper now comes protected by a clear cellophane outer cover. The book’s
light blue boards and spine remain in a good overall condition. The top and
bottom of the spine are a little bumped. Each of the board’s corners are slightly
rounded. The top edges of both boards have some sun fade associated with them. Internally,
the book’s pages remain clean and undamaged. Specifically, there is some fox
spotting associated with their outward facing edges. There is a small ‘A S’
written in blue biro on the first plank page. Please study my accompanying
images for more details of this book and its dustwrapper.
This book comes from a non-smoking and
pet-free household.
Thanks for looking and good luck.

All items tend to be sent by second class post to help reduce your

the English Postal Service's options. If you wish to receive your items any
quicker or by other routes (recorded, tracked etc) then please contact me and I
will provide you with a revised P & P costs. The English postal service is
usually very reliable, but items can go astray. A proof of posting will always
be obtained but I cannot be held responsible once your item enters the postal
system. That said, I will do all I can to help on these very rare occasions. I
am willing to post outside of the UK - please contact me for cost of posting
should this be required. I am very happy to combine your items in a single
package and reduce P & P costs accordingly. Once again, please contact me
and I'll provide you with a revised P & P costing. Note that your item(s)
will only be sent once payment has been received.
