Original Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Light vertical surface crease to rear panel of boards - I think this is some kind of production fault and not damage sustained afterwards - and one small surface blemish near the top left corner. Light marking to fore edges of pages. Pages otherwise clean and unmarked. The jacket has very slight fading to the spine and very slight surface and edge wear. There is also a small stain in the centre of the reverse of the front panel - nothing can be seen from the other side. First printing. Printed by Biddles Ltd. Seller Inventory # 010096
