Night Watches
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1940.
A collection of short stories that contains tales such as 'Back to Back', 'The Unknown' and 'Easy Money'. A most popular Jacobs character, a night watchman along the English coast, remembers troubles his friends got into during shore leave. At least part of the fault lay with those friends, who were both careless and naïve. Not all the stories are linked to just shore leave, even though they relate to the sea in some way. Included are a ghost story, a warehouse worker playing sick, a couple sparring for new income, and even a makeover story.
Condition grading: Very Good. Pen signature to title page. Some wear to spine and right edge of front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
