Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Reprint. 254 pages (complete). A heroic copy. The book has at some stage been subjected to damp storage conditions that injured the top of the book. The damp damage has transferred through the book and affects the top edges of the pages. In general, however, the text and the illustrations are unaffected. The book is resolutely steady and sound. The boards have other wear and handling marks. They are still sure. The contents have some foxing, aging. The frontispage is intriguingly signed by a previous owner, "Betty The Rebel"! The pages, despite the damp consequences are benign, passive, certain, companionable, competent and capable. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
