Publication: London, Dean & Son Ltd., n.d. [circa 1960s]

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 182, [2].

Condition Report: Good. Bound in the original textured red publisher's boards, the volume exhibits light bumping and gentle rubbing to the extremities, most notably at the spine ends, alongside a minor degree of sunning to the spine cloth. The binding remains reasonably firm with no severe lean. Internally, the text block shows typical uniform age-toning to the margins and edges, which is standard for the paper stock of this era. The front endpapers feature minor browning and a modern sticker affixed to the pastedown, though the main text remains clean, unmarked, and entirely legible.

Catalogue Note: This edition is an undated mid-century reprint published by Dean & Son Ltd. by arrangement with The Thames Publishing Co., and printed in Great Britain by Purnell and Sons Ltd. Bound in typical red textured boards, it was produced without illustrations. As an unillustrated, mass-market reprint on acidic paper, this copy is highly common on the open market and presents an affordable reading copy for enthusiasts of classic youth adventure literature and vintage series fiction.

Biggles of the Camel Squadron is an exhilarating collection of stories chronicling the early World War I adventures of James "Biggles" Bigglesworth and his comrades in the Royal Flying Corps. Facing the relentless peril of the Western Front, Biggles and his squadron must rely on their skill, daring, and camaraderie to outmaneuver the enemy in the deadly skies above the trenches.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
