Captain Blood - first US edition

by Rafael Sabatini

A really nice copy of the first edition with a later dust jacket, this is the classic swashbuckler tale as told by one of the masters in the genre.

The book is solid and square with no wear on edges. Sharp corners mildly rolled but not bumped and no internal marks or previous owner inscriptions. A very nice copy. Fine but for a small wear mark on the front panel. With a very good minus dust wrapper. The wrapper is from the Blakiston - Triangle 1946 edition and features the wonderful N.C.Wyeth illustration from the original hard copy color frontispiece. There are significant chips missing at corners, but all lettering is present (except the h and e from 'Scaramouche' on the front panel). Looks good in mylar and protects the nice hard copy which accompanies it.
