Here, folks, is my treasure, behold its beauty:
A truly nectar large dustjacketed Phantom Lake, just in from an Amazon dealer, who charged me only £20 for the privilege of owning such an item of utter delight. Not an exlib copy and looking as though it has rarely been read, this is another cracker for the collection. Check out the boards:
Who'd have guessed a gold Collins price sticker would be lurking underneath such an excellent DJ? Phantom Lake and Monster Mountain were the first books to be released with DJ, and I'm wondering if the presence of the price sticker on the boards, rather than the DJ is an indication that the introduction of a DJ was a late thought? I can't recall seeing such stickers on boards of DJ'd books before, perhaps someone can put me right here? I've certainly seen white Colins price stickers on inner DJ flaps in the past, such as on my recent Magic Circle. This Phantom Lake isn't quite up to the standard of the Magic Circle, but fucking close.
