Stated first edition. Octavo. 206pp. Very good in like jacket. Read cloth with gilt titling to spine. Ex-library with the expected stamps and markings. Minor tanning to pastedowns. Text is bright and clean throughout save for a small spot to upper corner of the first several pages. Library stamps to top and bottom of text block have been crossed out in sharpie. Read hinge is very slightly shaken. Very smart unclipped jacket without many tell-tale ex-library signs save for the subtle ghost of a classification tag to the lower spine. A borrower's pocket and due date slip have been carefully removed by a previous owner. A tight and attractive copy overall of a scarce title.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
