GOOD CONDITION - NO RESERVE - LOW OPENING BID!!!
This auction is for a superb vintage hardback FIRST EDITION (First impression of the First Edition) entitled “Journey Through Chaos,” by Victor Alexandrov, with a foreword by Upton Sinclair.
It was published by George Routledge and Sons Ltd., of Carter Lane, London, in 1948, and is the FIRST BRITISH EDITION (stated – there is a slip with the book stating that owing to production delays this book was not published until 1948).
A graphic personal account of youth in Russia during the Bolshevik revolution, escape from Russia and the vagrant pattern his life followed in the crisis-ridden countries of Europe in particular pre-war Germany.
The contents include:
· Youth in Russia
· Germany on the Auction Block
· Twilight of the Boulevard Gods
· From Swastika to Hammer and Sickle
· A Political Career in Greece
· Sparks from the Reichstag Fire
· Groundwork for Munich
...and more...
The book measures 8.75 inches x 6 inches.
The 372 pages are neat and a little faded with age. The binding is good with no loose or missing pages (the lining paper is peeling at the hinge inside the rear cover exposing the binding cloth under, but all is secure). Apart from a previous owner’s gift inscription at the front, there are no other ink or pencil markings in the book.
The original cloth hardback cover is in good condition for its age, with wear around the ends of the spine (frayed) and bumps to the corners and is grubby. The gold on the spine is very good.
A wonderful vintage FIRST EDITION – the starting price is just ONE PENNY, with NO RESERVE, and I WILL SELL to the highest bidder.
I am more than happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases and cost will be determined on the total weight of your wins (see below for costs and full details).
Please click on “View Sellers Other Auctions” towards the top of this page for other vintage editions.
No reserve...
...and a give-away starting price...
...so happy bidding!!!
