The Plenipotentiaries H J Kaplan 1950 First UK Edition Hardback Dust Jacket

A 1950 first UK edition of The Plenipotentiaries by H. J. Kaplan, published in London by Secker & Warburg. Set in postwar Paris, the novel follows American expatriates Pat and Tony and their friendship with the writer Phineas Strauss.

Bound in mustard-yellow cloth with black spine lettering. The original illustrated dust jacket, credited to Stein, retains its printed price of 10s. 6d. The back panel advertises George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four alongside other Secker & Warburg titles.

Fair vintage condition. The jacket is heavily rubbed and creased, with edge tears, chipping and paper loss at the spine ends and corners. The cloth boards have scattered marks and light wear. There is age toning and foxing to the page edges and endpapers. Please see the photographs for the jacket wear.

The book measures approximately 18.5 cm high × 12.8 cm wide (7.3 × 5 in) and weighs 310 g unpacked.
