The Lamp in the Desert

Ethel M. Dell
Hutchinson, London · 1919

First Edition. Very scarce true first edition of this one-time bestseller. Publisher's illustrated red cloth with catalogue for Autumn 1919 at rear announcing this title.

Ownership inscriptions to endpapers and light marking to page edges, but a good, sound copy.

Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
