Printing Details

First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 19 × 12.5cm, 175pp.

Running from Abudah through to Zorah, this is an essential dictionary of the characters, obscure words, phrases, and allusions to be found in the libretti of Gilbert and Sullivan's works, as well as some account of the various classical and topical names of persons, places and incidents, and approximate translations of all foreign and colloquial words.

Condition

A good solid copy. There is some sun fading to the wrapper's edges and a small tear to the wrapper at the base of the spine but it has not been price-clipped. There is light foxing to the page edges but the main body of text is in good clean condition.
