Thomas Major Cullinan. A biography

Minimal library damage. Indeed, the plastic protection, retained in this case, has kept the unclipped dustjacket in a near-fine state. The cover material was not inspected under the tape-sealed jacket, but some rubbing could be seen at the foot of the spine and and for 60 mm towards the cover edges. Plain blue endpapers. x + 271 pp, including 11 appendices, reference to sources and index. Profusely illustrated in colour and b/w, with illustrations captioned and numbered with text but not listed in the prelims.

Apart from library routine and one exception, the book is clean and unmarked. The exception is that three lines on p 14 have been marked and in some 130 words in ink on p 15 a reader has claimed, inter alia, that ". . . Thomas Cullinan worked for my Grandpa Gibson at Hibernia -- he was a cousin. He wanted to marry my mother (Sarah Jane Gibson) & she spurned him, thinking him rather a tawdray . . ." Potential buyers will decide whether this this handwritten note adds to or detracts from the value of this copy, which is otherwise complete and undiscoloured.
