Substance and Shadow: An Autobiography of a Black Country Writer - Harold Parsons, 1982 First Impression - Harold Parsons

Substance and Shadow: An Autobiography of a Black Country Writer is the autobiography of Harold Parsons, long-time editor of The Blackcountryman magazine, published by Barbryn Press in 1982. The cover features a typewriter illustration beneath the title on a coloured background.

The copyright page confirms this as the First Impression, and amusingly misprints the ISBN as '1SBN 0 906160 04 9' rather than 'ISBN'.

The paperback cover shows some wear, with light rubbing and a mark visible at the top corner of the front panel. The spine shows the title, author and publisher's device, with a little creasing. The back cover carries the blurb, ISBN and original price of £2.95. Internally, the paper is cream-coloured with clear black print, as seen in the sample page shown.
