Condition & Market Value

A vintage book designated in Very Good condition typically shows small signs of wear on the binding or edges, but retains a tight, clean spine and pages free of heavy marking. 

Without a Dust Jacket: If the book is missing its original 1941 dust jacket, the market price generally ranges between £15.00 and £30.00  depending on individual collector demand. 

With a Dust Jacket: If it includes its original Jonathan Cape dust jacket in similar “Very Good” condition, the scarcity increases dramatically, raising the valuation up to £50.00 – £90.00+
