first edition Cloth
1948 · London
by Partridge, Eric, editor. Naval Slang: Wilfred Granville. Army Slang: Frank Roberts.
London: Secker & Warburg, 1948. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. 21.5 by 14 cm. xi, [1], 212 pp. A fun collection of that most ephemeral area of language. Most of the terms, or their meaning at the time, now obscure. Slight edge bump by upper front edge, and light wear to DJ. DJ is NOT price clipped! Otherwise, a near fine copy, both the book itself and the DJ.
