VERY GOOD CONDITION
This sale is for a
vintage hardback FIRST EDITION entitled “Centenary
at Jalna,” by Mazo de la Roche (1879-1961).
It was published
by Macmillan & Co., Ltd., of London, and is the 1958 (date of title page
and copyright) FIRST BRITISH EDITION.
Jalna is
a 16-book series of novels (also known as the Whiteoak Chronicles) by
the Canadian writer Mazo de la Roche. Spanning 1854 to 1954, the Jalna
series tells the story of the Whiteoak family who lived on a southern Ontario
estate, Jalna, a fictional manor house. The novels were not written
in sequential order, and each can be read as an independent story. Centenary at Jalna was the 16th and final book in
the series.
The book measures 7.5
inches x 5.25 inches and has 302 pages.
The book is in
good, neat condition for its age, with minor wear/bumps to the original hardback
cover, with a previous owner’s neat blind embossed name stamp at the front and no
ink or pencil writing/markings in the book. The binding is good with no loose
or missing pages. There is no
dust-jacket.
A wonderful
vintage FIRST 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.
