About This Item
London: Blackie, 1959. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good -. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. There is a former owner's bookplate on the inside of the front cover, but no other marks or wear. The red cloth covers are fresh, with light wear and bumps at edges and corners. The gilt spine lettering and cover illustration are still bright. The dust jacket is price-clipped, and is in somewhat less than very good condition, with wear and chipping, particularly at the top and bottom of the spine. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition.
