About This Item
Oxford, January 1965. Cloth . Good/Fair. Octavo in heavily chipped/torn & tattered dustjacket. Front DJ flap is not clipped. Heavy stains & foxing on jacket front & verso. Pale blue cloth covered boards with black lettering upon spine. Spine is sun bleached, as well as sunned edges of boards. Textblock top edge is dust stained with tanning and foxing of end pages. 238 pages. This might be a first edition, due to the fact the same date appears on title page and copyright page. This is one of several methods of identifying Oxford First Editions according to Bill McBride, though Zempel seems to tell a different story. 238 pages.
