About This Item
London: Harper Collins, 1998. 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First thus, originally published in 1973, this hardcover edition from 1998 appears to be much rarer than the first edition! Blue cloth with gilt titles, an attractive, square, tight copy which appears not to have been read. Text-block evenly toned and so not quite fresh but a Fine-condition copy nonetheless, free from owner names etc. The dustjacket is unclipped, has two minor wrinkles at the crown. Very slightly stretched but otherwise Fine or very near it.
