The Old English Exodus, at last

Finally been able to snag a copy of this! I think this has been the most expensive book I’ve purchased yet, but very happy to add it to my collection. Apart from the discoloration on the front, the book is practically as new; the dust jacket is price-clipped.

(This is the copy that came up on Abebooks a couple of weeks ago, not the eBay copy.)
