Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Publisher's hardback in very good condition: firm and square, strong joints, just mildly rubbed. Complete with original dustjacket: slightly edge-worn and a little darkened, even so still showing well. Contents tight and clean; no pen-marks, save a previous owner's name at the endpaper. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Thus a tidy book in presentable condition. Seller Inventory # 207827
