A.E. Housman First Edition

Not quite as exciting as it sounds because, although this is indeed an A.E. Housman first edition from 1905, it's his scholarly latin edition of Juvenal's Satires.

It's been through the mill and clearly used intensively for its original purpose of teaching, but still a fascinating bit of history.

£55 at our Mill Road bookshop.
