Condition Report: Very Good. The original red cloth boards remain bright, clean, and structurally sound, with unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine and only minimal bumping to the spine ends. The binding is tight and square, showing no signs of leaning or splitting. Internally, the text block is clean, though it exhibits typical mild age-tanning and minor foxing to the page edges, which is standard for the paper stock of this era. The original dust jacket is preserved in highly respectable condition, displaying some expected shelf-wear, slight edge-creasing, and minor rubbing to the extremities, but remaining fully intact and visually striking.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, first impression of Dennis Wheatley’s historical adventure. The volume retains its original dust jacket, featuring vibrant, wrap-around cover artwork by Robert Graham. Notably, the book features decorative map endpapers depicting the Mediterranean, Jaffa, and Jerusalem circa 1798, perfectly contextualising the setting of the novel.

As a prolific author of the mid-20th century, Wheatley's works were printed in substantial numbers, making this edition relatively common; however, finding copies where the dust jacket has survived without severe chipping or fading is increasingly desirable for collectors.

A gripping and expansive instalment in the Roger Brook series, The Sultan's Daughter follows Prime Minister William Pitt's premier secret agent into the heart of Napoleon's audacious Egyptian campaign. Brook infiltrates the French army, witnessing the legendary Battle of the Nile and navigating treacherous political landscapes, all while becoming entangled in a desperate romance that threatens both his mission and his life. Wheatley masterfully blends rigorous historical fact with thrilling fiction, delivering a sweeping epic of espionage, warfare, and adventure.

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.
