A UK first edition, first impression. Lacking the wrapper. A solid, presentable copy without previous ownership inscriptions. There are bands of gentle fading along the borders of the front and back boards. The spine has faded. It is gently bruised at the ends. The pages are clean and without foxing. The closed page edges are dulled. The binding is tight and there are no loose or dog-eared pages. No cracked hinges. A very solid copy of a scarce book.
