For Sale: NITF! ☆ 1st Edition ☆ 1st Print ☆ MR. TETTLEY'S TENANTS ☆ Tiny Print Run!Nearly Impossible To Find! With such a small print run and only given to the Men in the squad, these Rarely come up for sale!
Published in 1944 by Sanders Phillips & Company, Ltd.;
"For Private Circulation for Mr. Tettley’s Tenants." This means it was a very VERY small print run.
Grover C. Hall's Mr. Tettley's Tenants (the book Hall wrote before 1000 Destroyed) is the 4th Fighter Group unit history, a.k.a. Death Squadron.
This book is an important and very scarce record of some of the top Aces in the RAF during World War II including photos of each Ace. There are Many, Many amazing; black & white photos in the book. Only a few are shown in the photos.
Published while the war was still active and due to the content was considered too dangerous if it got into enemy hands and was not allowed to be republished.
By many this book is considered the "Holy Grail" of WWII, RAF books. A Must Have For The Serious WWII collector!
This copy is in very nice condition with some shelf wear. All pages are still intact, but you can see in the last photo their is a spine split. Also it looks like there used to be a lot of news clipping stored inside the front cover (1 is still there and is included in the sale), those clipping created some dark acid stains.
Please check out all the BIG PICS and make your own decision on condition.
The Very Large photos are NOT stock photos and are of the actual book you will receive.

PLEASE NOTE:
BEST OFFERS PRICES
DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING
, even if you add a comment that says 'my offer includes shipping' . . . IT DOESN'T. eBay's logic is not sophisticated enough to deal with this, so please be sure to factor in shipping separately from your offer. If you do put in any condition text into your best offer, eBay's Auto-Accept feature is blocked for your offer. Why is that important? I had somebody put in a Best Offer and added the condition "Thank You", which was nice, but it kept their offer from being auto-accepted. Later that night, before I saw the offer, somebody else bought the item at full price. Good For Me . . . Not good for the 1st buyer.
Check out my Feedback and you can see that I aim to please!
Did I mention Satisfaction Guaranteed!?

DOMESTIC SHIPPING INCLUDES INSURANCE AND EBAY FINAL VALUE FEES!
Due to the value of this item the domestic shipping includes insurance costs. Also, as of July 2011, eBay started charging their FVF (Final Value Fee) on shipping / insurance costs, this means I have to pad the handling to cover the additional eBay fees.
NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING!
The fallacy of ‘Free Shipping’, according to ImaPaqRat:
If the seller provides ‘Free Shipping’ it means they have already factored in the full cost of shipping into their pricing. If you happen to buy 10 items from that seller, you are paying full shipping on 10 items even though they may ship them all in one box. I on the other hand post the shipping cost and if a buyer buys more than 1 item, I can provide them with a consolidated shipping discount. If you win more than 1 item from me, please contact me, before you pay so I can send you a consolidated invoice.
CONSOLIDATED SHIPPING:
I do offer consolidated shipping whenever possible, but my 1st priority is to ensure your items are received safely. If you are buying more than 1 item, please contact me when you are done so I may send you a consolidated invoice. PLEASE DO NOT PAY THEN ASK ME TO CONSOLIDATE THE SHIPPING! To take advantage of consolidated handling fees you must make a single payment, within 7 days of the first auctions end date.
SMOKE FREE / PET FREE!:
Your comic(s) ship from and have been in a Smoke Free / Pet Free Home Office for years. So no smelly surprises and no dander flying around when you open up your package!
