Paperback. Condition: Like New. First Edition. In nearly new condition: bright, crisp and clean, strong joints. Looks and feels unread. Just a small publisher 'damaged' stamp at the prelims. Nonetheless not showing any defects, just a minor indentation to the rear cover, otherwise as new. Thus a very nice copy, firm, square and tight, now offered for sale at a very reasonable price.
