Peter Boston Illustrator. A bright UK first edition, first impression.
The Wrapper : The wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped. It shows a hint of light rubbing to the spine ends and a thin band of toning along the top edge of the back panel. Looks sharp.
The Book : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. It shows an insignificant hint of trivial bruising to the upper corners. The pages are very clean. The top leading edge corners of the first two pages are bruised. The closed page edges are fresh. No foxing. No dog-eared pages. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
