See the description (below) from the dustwrapper flap.  In September 2013 the BBC showed a 90-minute TV dramatisation based on the life of Frederick Roberts, one of the two editors.  Included loose with this book is a print of the review of the TV programme from ‘The Daily Telegraph’ and a page from ‘The Times’ of 21 September 2013 giving (somewhat belated) obituaries of the two editors.

Reprinted, but only in a paperback edition, in 2010 and still available at £12.99.  Our copy is a proper sewn hardback and will open flat.
