HARDBACK - A very good or better book, warmly inscribed by the author extensively to the title page and to the verso of the front end-paper. The map style end-papers are clean as are the books red boards with black spine lettering. No fading to the spine or to the front or rear boards, in the very rare dust wrapper, correctly priced 7/6net to the spine. There is a small chip at the head of the spine, removing part of the author's christian name. Slightly faded to the spine. Notwithstanding these minor faults, this is a very nice copy indeed.
