Oxford University Press, 1991. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. 1991 reprinting, near fine cloth hardcover shows touch of soil at page edges and some other light trace wear, else tight and clean, in very good price-clipped dust jacket that shows couple of tiny closed edge tears, small closed puncture alogn spine, and a tape strip (possibly an old security strip) where the tape is gone but with a signficant blemish alogn spine of jacket reverse with mild bleed through visible at front. 278 pages. Still a fairly attractive copy of these stories from the noted author that feature a new Miss Mapp and other stories.
