MARLE, T. B. Cleopatra's Nose
MARLE, T. B. Cleopatra’s Nose. London: Arthur Barker. 1937. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in black to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by ‘Lowen’. Uncommon romance novel. A good copy, the cloth with some heavy mottling to the front board, less so to spine tips, rear board clean. Some former insect nibbles to gutter, corners and to bottom edges. Binding, though, tight and square. Light marks to textblock, offsetting to prelims with old ink price to front endpaper, else clean throughout. The dust jacket unclipped, some closed tears and tiny nicks to edges, discolouration to front panel verso slightly showing to front but the busy design does well to lessen this. Spine a little creased but an altogether nice example overall. Scarce.
