Value Drivers & Market Context

• Edition & Publisher: This is the true UK first edition published by Constable & Co. London. While it completes Harold Nicolson’s highly regarded trilogy on British diplomacy (alongside Lord Carnock and Peacemaking), it is a relatively common title for collectors rather than a high-premium rarity. 
• Condition (“Good”): In antiquarian book grading, “Good” indicates a well-read copy that shows clear signs of wear. For a volume of this age, this typically means a sunned spine, light shelf wear to the cloth edges, and minor interior foxing or toning. 
• The Dust Jacket Factor: Copies in this price range do not include the original dust jacket. A copy with a rare surviving 1934 Constable jacket in decent shape would significantly elevate the value, potentially pushing it closer to £75–£100.
