Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very presentable copy which is signed by Spike Milligan on the front free end paper alongside a gift inscription. My guess is that his signature was added after the gift inscription; so possibly the book was given as a gift first and then taken to an event where Milligan was present. The whole inscription reads "to: A Klunk! Happy Birthday, Love rob 26/10/79 Spike" (written in a different hand after the name Rob is the name Lyle, most probably to indicate that the Rob is Rob Lyle.) The signature of Spike is in his quirky, unmistakable style with squirly lettering and lines over the k and the p. Otherwise the book is in lovely condition with bright pages throughout. Perhaps a bit of toning to the page block edge. The dust jacket, although price clipped with a little light edge wear, is pretty bright and not sun faded.
