Beautiful rare c.1948 soft-back print of Henry James ‘The Awkward Age’, first published 1899. This delicate book is in good condition considering its age. Some water stains on the cover and spine, shown in the photos. This copy has some charming old pencil markings on the cover, a record of its previous journeys through secondhand book shops. The inside is in excellent condition with no marks and all pages intact. This particular edition was printed c.1948 on 'Dünndruckpapier', known in English as 'Bible paper' or 'scritta paper'. This paper grade often contains cotton or linen fibres to increase its strength in spite of its thinness. This made this book compact and durable, presumably designed for travel. There is no ISBN for this item due to its age.
