The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene – 1948 Early Edition, Ex-Library Copy

This item is an early printing from 1948 of The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene, published by William Heinemann Ltd. First published in May 1948, this particular edition is from the same year, as indicated by the reprint line stating "June (twice), September 1948". It is a vintage ex-library copy once held by the Kelso Public Library, making it a unique piece of literary and local history.

Bound in original black cloth boards, the book is in acceptable condition with evident signs of former library use. The cover shows rubbing and wear, particularly along the spine and corners, and features handwritten catalogue code “Gre” at the base of the spine. The interior front board includes a library pocket, stampings, and multiple checkout dates from the early 1950s.
