As Luck Would Have It.

[London: Chatto & Windus, c. 1900]. No edition stated (hardback). 8vo (19cm by 13cm), 384pp. Library binding of blue cloth, gilt titling to the spine. This is an ex-Boots Lending Library copy, and the title page is missing. Only a fair copy overall. I have only been able to trace one edition of this book - the Chatto & Windus edition of 1900 - and I presume that this book is that edition. The printer's colophon on the final text leaf reads "Billing and sons, printers, Guildford".
