Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The unclipped jacket has been placed in a plastic sleeve early in its life and appears nigh on perfect - Fine/Near Fine. The book itself is also immaculate except for the one glaring fault of a slightly greater than 5cm x 3cm corner clipped from the top right corner of the title page. There is a faint dustiness to the top edge. Even so, this is a very nice copy of the first edition of the author's first published work, and a keystone of modern Australian literature.
