HARDBACK - A fine book, bound in the publishers blue cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine. Internally, the pages are very clean indeed, free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. Boldly signed by the books illustrator, Sir Quentin Blake to the half title page. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition with no loss or tears, but with light fading to the spine. The publisher's printed price of �3.95net is present to the front panel. A lovely copy.
