The Silver Chair Lewis, C.S. Children's Classics

217pp. 1953. First edition. 8vo. sized. A very good, tight copy wth very good professionally restored dust jacket. One of the scarcer first editions in the Narnia series. No inscriptions. Original publisher's blue cloth boards - silver embossed to the spine. A map to the front endpapers and line drawngs by Pauline Baynes. Some toning to the endpapers. Some spottng to the fore-edges - chiefly to the upper fore-edge. The jacket has not been price-clipped and has been sympathetically restored with chips repaired to the head and tail of the spine (perhaps the slghtest loss of original text to the 'E' of 'Bless' and to a couple of corners. The whole now housed in a protective sleeve. There are around 3 short tears to the rear panel, which have been expertly repaired and a small chip to the upper left hand corner of the rear panel. There is slight loss to the head of the rear flap. Some normal age toning to the endpapers - largely caused by the dust jacket. A very good copy of a scarce and sought after first edition.
