Product Description

The Plunger, a first edition published by F.V. White & Co in London in 1891, presents Hawley Smart's gripping novel A Turf Tragedy, a tale of gambling and betrayal on the Victorian turf, noted in Hubin's crime fiction bibliography. From the Sydney John Robinson collection, this very good copy bears his distinctive bookplate on the front pastedown. Contents and edges show no foxing or toning, with intact hinges and no cracking. The original covers, with unfaded spine and bright gilt lettering, remain pristine. This well-preserved volume offers collectors a fine example of 19th-century sporting and crime fiction.
