Title: Something of Value
Author: Robert Ruark
Publisher: Doubleday & Company, Inc.
Pub Date: 1955
Pages: 566 (including Glossary at end)
a scarce first edition (1955 on TP; first edition statement on CP- pics 2, 3)...drawings done by Daniel Schwartz...cloth boards, foredges uncut...book measures approximately 8.5" H x 5 5/8" W...no DJ
Ruark's first bestselling novel...later adapted into a movie starring Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier...historical fiction that explores the cultural tensions between native Africans and British settlers during the violent Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya in the 1950s
book is in very good+ condition- no writing or marks...very clean text block, pages bright and crisp...spine tight, hinges sound...silver gilt on spine is sharp...light wear to boards, corners, extremities...front board ever so slightly cocked...appears to be a very light water? stain to top edge (pic 10)
overall, excellent first edition copy of a HTF Ruark novel
