Good-bye, Mr. Chips.
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, (1934). First Canadian edition in a variant d/w. Name on e/paper o/w near fine in d/w lacking most of the spine and with other chipping but still an interesting example of this variant d/w.
The d/w on this first Canadian edition is the only example of this variant d/w we have seen. This d/w is printed in green, red and tan as opposed to the d/w usually seen which is in blue and tan. The variant d/w was issued to promote the book as a Christmas gift with "For Your Holiday Reading" printed in red at the bottom of the front panel and it also has a red ribbon design with holly surrounding the title at the top of the front panel. The picture depicted on the front is also different from the one usually found.
