Greetings!
I have recently acquired in my bookstore a book titled Helgi the High-Born by Captain W.H. Milligan. It is English, published in London by "The Boy's Own Paper" Office, 4 Bourverie Street, E.C. 4.
While there is no publication date, according to the National Library of Ireland online catalog, the book was published in 1927 (http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000011383). There is an ink inscription stating that the book was presented to Kenneth Bissell for regular attendance at Methodist Sunday School Spring Bank during 1935, so this may not be a first edition, although there appears to be no way to tell. My first edition resource books don't list this publisher.
The Boy's Own Paper was a periodical, and the book evidently appeared there in serial form first in 1925 (http://www.philsp.com/homeville/bjsp/s242.htm#A4763) (http://www.tilleysvintagemagazines.com/source/product_data.php?prodid=2922&gallery=BOYS%20OWN%20PAPER&page_num=0&menuchoice=MAGAZINES)
There are no listings of this book here on LT, and none that I could find on either Alibris, ABE or Amazon.
Anybody have a clue or a guess what a fair price would be? There's no dust jacket. The book is in what I'd call good-plus condition. Very tight binding, no major blemishes or stains, mildly scuffed at the top and bottom of the spine.
I am fairly new to this game. Thought I'd ask here for help. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to render.
