This specific volume is a pre-war 1938 printing, featuring the superior quality paper and binding produced just before wartime paper rationing took effect in Great Britain. Key Features & Condition: Format: Hardback with its rare, original vintage map-design dust jacket. Binding: Classic smooth blue cloth boards with the blind-stamped Oxford monogram on the front cover and bright gold/gilt lettering on the spine. Dust Jacket: In tact and featuring the distinct 1930s pictorial map design. Shows some light edge wear, minor shelf aging, and slight fading to the spine, but remains remarkably well-preserved for its age. Interior: Pages are clean, crisp, and tightly bound. The printing history page cleanly traces its lineage from the 1902 first series run down to this 1938 reprint.A fantastic addition for any collector of vintage Oxford World's Classics, Brontë enthusiasts, or lovers of beautiful pre-war pocket editions.
