Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, just showing a few very minor rubs. Hence a non-text page has a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition and appears unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. Also, no pen-marks and not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Now offered for sale at a very sensible price.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Oversized hardcover, xii + 542 pages, NOT ex-library. Weight 1040g. Short corner creases to a portion of leaves (minor). Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket.
