First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A very decent clean copy on the whole with a previous owner's inscription in neat ink pen on the half title page, of one A. Faithfull of 71 Hyde Street, Winchester.The title lettering on the front board is still very crisp, as is the town coat of arms. There is however some rubbing and wear to the extremities of the boards, particularly at the fore edge corner tips. Previous labels partially peeled off and blind stamp on the end papers. An early section of the book is loosening, but still well bound in and there is mild foxing here and there throughout. Despite these few flaws the book is still quite a presentable copy.
