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. Some damage to top of spine. Minor wear to bottom of spine. Cover has been given a plastic wrapper. Very light foxing to both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
