[This 1st edition includes on p. 272 the now (in)famous brief account of a so-called fire at a piano works. This was replaced in later editions, following concerns about possible libel action, with a reference to a fire at a boiler works]. 280 pages printed and bound on light green, cloth boards. Silver, gilt titles to spine. Black & white drawings by John Ward. Condition notes as follows: fade line to top & bottom of boards and to spine. Light 'rubs' to top and bottom of spine and one or two age-related marks to boards. Very light fox-marks to front end papers (inside front board f.e.p. has been glued down for no apparent reason).
