WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy ( designed by Patricia Davey ) is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped, showing the price 16s on the inside flap. It shows toning to the margins of the white back panel and to the white lettering on the spine. Looks sharp in protective plastic.

BOOK : The book is square and very tight. The boards are clean and unfaded. The corners are sharp. The pages are clean. No foxing. The closed page edges are slightly dusty and toned. There are no loose or dog-eared pages. The binding is solid and without cracked hinges. There are no previous ownership inscriptions - there is an ownership blindstamp on the ffep. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
