Alfred A. Knopf, 1949. First American edition cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of The Old Bank House by Angela Thirkell.

"Barsetshire was worried when Mr. Sam Adams, rising ironmonger and M.P., bought the Old Bank House. But everyone soon came to agree with the Rector that it was a very good thing, and 'if one had to have new rich, Adams was an excellent sample.' Even old Miss Sowerby was delighted to leave her house in such sympathetic hands; but she had one reservation. 'What this house needs,' she said, 'is a mistress.'"

Very Good. Dust jacket protected in a mylar sleeve. Nice copy with light shelf wear.
