Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. This is the Gollancz first hardcover edition. On its title page is "1979" (year this book was published), and on its copyright page is "Copyright © 1978" (year the paperback original was published.)

Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with traces of wear on the ends of its spine, but otherwise unworn.
