Estimated Market Value
Based on similar listings on vintage book platforms like AbeBooks and historical sales data:
- Without a Dust Jacket: A copy in “Very Good” condition generally commands between £15 and £30
- With a Dust Jacket: If your copy retains its original 1937 dust jacket in similar “Very Good” condition, the value can rise to £40 to £70+, as early dust jackets for political memoirs are quite rare.
Background on the Edition
- The Significance: Harold Nicolson’s first-hand, highly critical account of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference remains one of the most vital texts for understanding the geopolitical atmosphere immediately following World War I.
- The Printing: While the true first edition was printed by Constable in 1933, the 1937 printing is considered a highly desirable early reprint, valued for its identical publisher typography and period binding.
