Very good condition, with clean, sound rose-pink cloth boards and only light toning to the endpapers. The gilt spine lettering remains bright, the binding tight, and the text unmarked. The unclipped dust jacket (priced 10s. 6d. net) retains its vivid magenta color and crisp typography, showing moderate edge wear with several short closed tears, minor chipping at the spine ends and corners, and a few light surface creases; some adhesive tape repairs on the verso.

This is the first British edition, first printing, published by Secker & Warburg in 1954. From the personal collection of Tony Walton (1934–2022), Academy Award– and multiple Tony Award–winning designer, whose distinguished career in stage and film design included collaborations with leading playwrights and directors of the mid-twentieth century.
