A fabulous copy which is signed by the author with a dedication to his mother and reads: To dearest Mother with love from us both- John 3.6.33" It is further inscribed later by his brother simply: "AWF Fuller From Mother. This is part of a small collection of similarly signed copies of Fuller's works. (See other listings.) The cloth boards are fresh looking and have still very crisp title lettering on the spine. There is a little spotting to the boards but only really noticeable on close inspection. Internally there is a little toning to the end papers and the page block edge has the beginnings of foxing but this really is a super copy on the whole. The fold out maps at the rear are in almost pristine condition. The dust jacket is mostly bright although there is a 2 inch closed tear from the top edge of the front cover and a little minor loss at the head of the spine and fore edge corner tips flap hinges. No price clipping and in fact the price of 10s 6d Net is printed on the spine. JFC (Boney) Fuller is included in Mark Urban's book, "Generals Ten British Commanders Who Shaped the World" Some accolade indeed. A wonderful and unique copy.
