Description: Available from Bluebird Books: Lives of Saint Thomas More by William Roper & Nicholas Harpsfield in an Everyman's Library first edition in dust jacket EL #19Description: A first Everyman's Library edition, 1963 of two biographies of Sir Thomas More. A Roman Catholic, More refused to acknowledge King Henry VIII as head of the Church of England, and was executed for treason as a result. His son-in-law, William Roper, asked biographer Nicholas Harpsfield to write a biography of More, providing him with a brief synopsis of More's life. Both the synopsis and the longer biography are presented together in this work, edited by E. E. Reynolds. Entry 19 in Everyman's Library Biography series. In EL larger format binding style 4. Full violet cloth-covered boards with gilt-stamped spine titling & interlocked "EL" at tail of spine; orange topstain.

FINE - Approaches the condition of AS NEW, but lacking the crispness of a new book. These books or dust jackets should have no defects. NEAR FINE - Approaching FINE but with slight flaws. VERY GOOD - Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some small signs of wear or slight damage. GOOD - Describes the average used worn book or jacket that has flaws and/or damages. (An old bookseller said it best, "In rare books, Good ain't good".) FAIR - Worn book or jacket that is stained, has loose pages, tears, or otherwise has some sort of significant damage or other issue. POOR - Describes a book that is worn, damaged, stained or otherwise beat-up, making it useful as a reading copy but possibly not a collector copy. A POOR dust jacket is likely heavily torn, chipped or otherwise damaged.(A ' + ' or a ' - ' can indicate a shading of these values...either a nudge up, or a nudge down.)
