This volume is a leather-bound reprint of Mr. Prohack, by Arnold Bennett, originally published in 1922 and reissued in 2022. It offers readers and collectors an opportunity to own a durable, traditionally bound copy of this work, produced using a sewing (smythe/section) binding method for added longevity.
The book features leather binding on the spine and corners, complemented by golden leaf printing on the spine for the title. The text is printed in black and white, and the pages have been resized in line with current standards. The sewing binding ensures that the book block is stitched with thread before binding, resulting in a more robust construction intended for longer use.
As this is a reprint made with the help of a very old 1922 edition, there may be some missing or flawed pages carried over from the source material. This is a common characteristic of reprints from aged originals, and it reflects the limitations of the surviving copies. The book contains a total of 334 pages.
This edition may appeal to readers interested in Arnold Bennett’s work as well as those who appreciate leather-bound books with traditional binding methods. The combination of leather corners and spine, golden leaf spine titling, and sewn binding makes it suitable for personal libraries, study, or gifting to enthusiasts of classic literature reprints.
