Capt. W. E. Johns – Biggles of the Camel Squadron

This edition of Biggles of the Camel Squadron, was published by the Thames Publishing Company and has no dustcover.  Thames have the most annoying habit of printing the publication date of the book on the rear side of the pastedown of the inner front cover.  This means you can’t easily see it.  The inside pastedown cover can be lifted by soaking it in water, which destroys your book.  Alternatively, it can be viewed by using alcohol Isopropanol (99.9 % pure alcohol, please read http://www.biggles.info/Details/47/Dating/ if you wish to use alcohol to view the publishing date).

According to http://www.biggles-online.com/book/biggles-of-the-camel-squadron/editions/ This Thames edition of Biggles of the Camel Squadron was published between 1954 and 1959.

This edition is in very good condition.  The spine is virtually, as new.  The front and back covers have a few stains, but only minor blemishes, on a book over 50 years old.  The inside cover is in good condition, as is the page opposite.  The back cover is marked, as is the page opposite.  The hinge is in excellent condition, as is the gutter.  The book itself inside, is in very good condition.  Further photographs can be provided, if requested.
