Books

London, Heinemann, 1962. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. A highlight of modern literature and book collecting. First issue in black boards with wider flaps. Price-clipped, with an owner's inscription. A little edgewear to the jacket and a couple of short tears, small indentation beneath the 'A' on the top of the jacket, slight fade to the spine. A nice copy. [10547, Hyraxia Books].
