Wintering Hay by John Trevena - (1912 1st Edition Hardcover) Author: Ernest George Henham (b.1870- d. ?) aka John Trevena Publisher: Mitchell Kennerley, New York, NY U.S.A. 1912 Ernest George Henham (b.1870- d. ?unknown?) was a Canadian-British author who wrote novels at the beginning of the 20th century. He also published literary works under the pseudonym John Trevena. It was probably no coincidence that the surname he chose was the original name for Tintagel, the legendary location of King Arthur's castle. Hardcover has blue cloth boards with gold lettering on spine, but no dust jacket. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. Square corners, minor shelf-wear, sun-burnt spine and still does not look like a book over 100 years old. Size: 12mo - over 6 - 7" tall, 510pp Condition: Near Fine Hardcover w/o Dust Jacket, 1st Edition assumed – Always privately owned. No copyright stated. Printed in year published (1912) so 1st edition assumed. William Brendon and Son, Ltd of Plymouth, UK were the printers. No ISBN, LCCN nor MSR. Notes on Condition/Edition ratings: Fine – means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't “brand new”. Booksellers needed some word to describe this... Like New – A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher. Very Good – How you or I might take care of a book, closer to “as new” than standard. Might show ownership. Good – How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as “standard.” The most likely condition for books of this age title, shows the book has been read or previously owned. Acceptable – How a child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.) Poor – Combination of “acceptable” factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have missing pages (you should ask). Near – Means “almost” in an optimistic sense. e.g., “Near Fine” means very good, but on the high end. 1st Thus – Unique somehow, maybe 1st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1st edition. A collector might desire this copy. Thanks for looking!
