Not dated but c 1920. New Edition. xvi, 1680, (8) pp. Patterned blind-stamped quarter maroon cloth over mid-green cloth boards, gilt titles to spine (a few marks on boards, gilt titles faded, light wear).

Contemporary adverts at front and rear (for, for example, Howard's Soda, Chivers Jellies and Marie Elizabeth tinned Sardines). Good, early edition of this perennial favourite - editions from the 1930s and 1940s are more common, so this one has particularly cache.
