[Wyndham (John)], "John Beynon". The Secret People, first edition, original green cloth lettered in black, a little rubbed, dust-jacket priced at 2/6, light toning to spine, light chipping and a few nicks and closed tears to head and foot with some strengthening and repair to verso, surface soiling to panels, creasing to head, a very good example overall, 8vo, [1935/6].

⁂ Wyndham's second novel and his first attempt at science fiction. There appear to have been three issues of this work in the original cloth with the present green example likely a secondary or library binding. The dust-jacket too may be a second issue (with the first priced at 7/6), but is nevertheless rare with only one other example (also priced at 2/6) appearing at auction.
