Lindsay (David) Devil's Tor, first edition, light spotting to endpapers, original cloth, spine faded, dust-jacket, price-clipped, spine a little browned, spine ends and corners a little chipped, small patch of staining to lower panel, light spotting to upper panel, a few small nicks or tears to head and foot but overall an excellent example, 8vo, 1932.
