  • Jamaica Inn – Daphne Du Maurier – 1951 Edition

    Jamaica Inn – Daphne Du Maurier – 1951 Edition

    Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn vies with Rebecca as her best work… this “Cheap Edition” has become iconic.

    Jamaica Inn was first published in 1936 … this is effectively the 21st impression, of 1951, with many more to come

    Octavo, 208 pages, with the publisher Gollancz’s iconic yellow jacket. This is the cleanest and best early copy we have come across.

    If you are in that beautiful part of England make sure you visit Jamaica Inn and read the book. Daphne gives us a useful introductory note … “Jamaica Inn stands to-day, hospitable and kindly, a temperance house on the twenty-mile road between Bodmin and Launceston” … you can get a nice drop there now and a heavy lunch!

    “It was a cold grey day in November …”

    Mary Anne – Daphne du Maurier – First Australian edition 1954

    Published by Angus and Robertson, Sydney 1954. Octavo, 389 pages. A little ageing and some minor dust jacket edge chips. Still a very good copy.

    She was the mistress of Prince Frederick, Duke of York Commander in Chief … seemingly she liked her men to be well heeled.

    Extravagant Mary Anne was in the family

    Octavo, 351 pages, with the publisher Gollancz’s iconic yellow jacket, with the bold Spectator review ‘I do not believe that Stevenson would have been ashamed to have written it”. Jacket chipped and page edges foxed otherwise a perfectly acceptable early Jamaica Inn.
