HARDBACK - A very good book, bound in the publisher's black cloth boards with gilt lettering to the spine. There is a crease present to the top of the spine with a little pushing to the spine tip, else the boards are clean. Internally the inner text is clean and fresh with no foxing spots or finger marks inset. Free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. The dust wrapper is in very good or better condition with shallow chipping to the spine tip, also with miniscule loss to the top corners of the front and rear flap folds. There is no further loss or tears. There is a small spot to the rear panel, also with light fading to the spine, but much less than what is normally encountered. The publisher's printed price of 16s.net is present to the front flap. The book is the correct UK first edition with the wider front and rear flaps.
