[Rarebooks] FS - SIGNED John Buchan

[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

BUCHAN, John. /SIR WALTER SCOTT/. Coward-McCann Inc., New York City. 
1932. 1st edition, hb blue cloth. royal 8vo, pp. 384, with a 
frontispiece of Scott (from a sketch by Sir Edwin Landseer). The bottom 
right corner of the front board is bumped; else the book is in near fine 
(appears unread) condition. The dust jacket is noticeably chipped at the 
edges, with some small open tears at the folds and the head and tail of 
the spine. There is some quite light general soiling, but otherwise the 
jacket is in good, presentable condition. SIGNED by Buchan in ink on the 
title page.

John Buchan (1875-1940), first Baron Tweedsmuir, was a noted author and 
a Governor-General of Canada (1935-1940), best known, perhaps, for his 
thrillers (if one may employ so inelegant a term about such an exalted 
official) /The Thirty-Nine Steps/ and /Greenmantle/. One occasionally 
sees copies of Buchan's books with tipped-in signatures (probably taken 
from some official correspondence), but signed copies of his books are 
quite scarce.
