The original black cloth binding remains tight, square, and remarkably well-preserved, with sharp corners and unblemished silver-white tooling to the spine. The text block is structurally sound, presenting with only light, uniform age-toning typical of pre-war paper stock, completely free of extraneous foxing or distracting internal blemishes. It is accompanied by its original, unclipped dust jacket (retaining the 7\/6 net price to the spine), displays excellent colour retention to the striking landscape panels, with only minor rubbing along the hinges and slight chipping to the head and tail of the spine panel, avoiding any loss to the typography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: The first edition, first printing of J. M. Scott's second novel. James Maurice Scott (1906–1986) was a seasoned polar explorer who drew heavily upon his own expeditions to Greenland and Labrador to inform his fiction. Following the critical success of his biography of Gino Watkins, Scott pivoted to thriller writing with \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"322\"\u003eSnowstone\u003c\/i\u003e and subsequently this title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eCopies of this pre-war Arctic thriller remaining in their original, unrestored dust wrappers are increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly in such a bright state of preservation. The wrapper artwork itself is a superb example of 1930s publisher design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eWhen a man in a small boat washes ashore on a remote Hebridean island, he is found dying of exhaustion by characters familiar from Scott's debut novel. This fateful encounter triggers a desperate and thrilling expedition into uncharted polar regions, culminating in the discovery of a 'Lost World' in the Arctic where a secluded tribe of Stone Age Inuit force the travellers into a dangerous game of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55729680384339,"sku":"6756","price":86.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261028_104704.jpg?v=1793734084","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-silver-land-j-m-scott-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
