Publication: Shrewsbury, Airlife Publishing Ltd., 1991

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 276.

Condition Report: Fine. The navy blue cloth boards remain remarkably sharp, unbumped, and free of shelf-wear, retaining bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine. The binding is decidedly tight and square, suggesting the book has seen little, if any, reading. Internally, the text block edges are unblemished, and the pages remain bright and entirely free of foxing. The dust jacket is similarly crisp and unclipped, with only the most trivial rubbing to the extremities, presenting an exceptionally clean example overall.

Catalogue Note: A highly presentable first edition. This volume offers a detailed historical account of the Allied bombing of the German Army's supply system in Northern France and Belgium prior to Operation Overlord. This copy remains entirely unmarked by previous ownership, free from bookplates or significant inscriptions.

While copies occasionally appear on the open market, finding an unsigned example in such well-preserved condition without typical handling wear is increasingly uncommon.

One of the major contributions to the success of Operation "Overlord" in 1944 was the extensive Allied bombing of the German Army's supply system in Northern France and Belgium. Point Blank and Beyond provides much valuable information on this largely unrecorded aspect of World War II, offering an essential perspective on the strategic air campaigns that paved the way for the liberation of Europe.

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.
