Is this the future?
My this-months catalogue of Nigel Williams Rare Books First Editions lists:
554. Ransome, Arthur. Swallowdale Cape 3rd printing, 1932
Fine in very slightly dusty dustwrapper 250 pounds sterling
555. Ransome, Arthur. Coot Club Cape 2nd printing ( in the month of publication) 1934
Fine in VG slightly spine-darkened dustwrapper 125 pounds sterling
(neither of them are first editions it appears) Is the expensive Swallowdale the one with the non-AR illustrations? nwrarebook@tcp.co.uk if anyone's tempted!
