David Philip, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. Signed. The title page has been signed by the author, Alan Paton, in blue ink.

The boards are a touch edge worn but remain strong and square, with bright gold gilt to the spine. Internally, there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. Tightly bound and presents attractively in cellophane. JK.
