Printing Details
Undated, early 1970s. Assumed first thus. Hardback, rebound in fine half morocco, five raised bands and simple gilt titling to spine. 27 × 18cm, unpaginated.
A complete run of high-quality Magnet issue facsimiles from No 1341 to 1351. There is no Howard Baker imprint on the pages in the usual pages but presumably they are the publisher.
The stories were originally published 1933/1934, and the main stories from each issue here are: 1341 The Ace of Jokers; 1342 The Greyfriars' Guy; 1343 Down With the Tyrant; 1344 The Greyfriars' Strongman; 1345 Alonzo the Great; 1346 The Greyfriars' Hercules; 1347 The Reformer of the Remove; 1348 Bunter the Bully; 1349 The Mystery of Wharton Lodge; 1350 The Ghost of Wharton Lodge; and 1351 Bunter the Crasher.
I haven't been able to locate this exact collation in the Greyfriars bibliographies, so perhaps it was lovingly curated by the previous owner.
Condition
This copy is in very good condition, with just the lightest wear to the binding (one small mark to the front joint). The contents have some tonal difference in the pages but they are clean and uncreased.
As of October 2026, books remain duty-free. The price of the book incurs no extra import duty fees.
