'After The Storm' is better than very good, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The dustwrapper is a little nicked at the top of the spine and with several short closed tears to the edges. 'White Water' is a near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The dustwrapper is also near fine with just a little rubbing and creasing to the extremities.
