HARDBACK - A near fine book bound in the publisher's red cloth boards with bright gilt lettering present to the spine. A little pushing to the base of the spine, else clean and bright. Internally there is a little toning to the top closed page block, but no foxing or finger marks to the inner text. There is a small neat pencil name to the top corner of the front end-paper that could easily be erased. The dust wrapper is also in near fine condition with light toning to the spine, with a small closed tear to the spine tip. A nice example with the publisher's printed price of 12s.6d.net present to the lower front flap.
