Terrific example of the Fourth printing of Tressall's important political novel, published in 1914, three years after his death.

Dust jacked is carefully preserved in plastic slip over archival paper, with some slight loss to top and bottom of spine. Page edges are tanned but binding is tight and square and contents are clean.
