In an original period dust jacket (lightly rubbed at edges, frayed at spine tips, odd small crease, mild spotting on reverse). The Book Club was one of several book clubs founded by the famous London bookseller, Foyles, in the 1940s and 1950s, selecting quality contemporary fiction to share with its readers.
