Enid Blyton: The Sea of Adventure

London: Macmillan and Co. Ltd, 1948, True First Edition, First Printing.

Binding: Fair/Poor: The text block is structurally attached at the rear hinge but the internal front hinge is split down the gutter, exposing the underlying mesh webbing. Requires careful handling or simple stabilisation, though the pages themselves remain tightly bound together.

Boards/Spine: Fair. The cream cloth exhibits widespread surface soiling, finger smudges, and heavy handling marks with age as a well-loved children's book. Spine ends and corners show moderate bumping. Front cover illustrations remain distinct.

Interior: Good. Internal reading pages are clean with standard edge-toning. No markings.
