VERY GOOD
CONDITION
This sale is for a
vintage hardback edition entitled “The
Runagates Club,” by John Buchan (1875-1940).
It was published
by Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd., of London, in September, 1930 and is the FIRST
PRINTING in this uniform edition (the work was originally published in July 1928).
Twelve short stories told by members of a fictional London dining club.
Many characters. Many characters from Buchan's
novels make an appearance, including two of his most well-known: Sir Richard
Hannay, hero of The Thirty-nine Steps
and four other of his books, and Sir Edward Leithen who also featured in
several of his novels.
The book measures 6.8
inches x 4.75 inches and has 335 pages, which are gilt edged to the top rims.
The book is in
good, neat and clean condition for its age, with a similarly very good original
red cloth hardback cover and a little light foxing to the rims. There are NO
inscriptions/book-plates and NO other ink or pencil markings in the book. The binding
is good with no loose or missing pages.
There is no dust-jacket.
A wonderful
vintage edition.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are significant.
This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view of the
increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
