A bright UK first edition, first impression. Loosely laid in is a two-sided handwritten letter ( folded once ) to the Irish writer, Polly Devlin, thanking her for her ( Devlin's) 'lovely billet doux'.
WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy is very bright, is unfaded and is complete. It is unclipped. Looks very sharp.
BOOK : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. The spine ends are inconsequentially bruised. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are sound - the top edge is lightly soiled. No dog-eared pages. The binding is tight, the hinges are solid. An attractive copy in a protected wrapper.
