Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Limited Edition. Stated on the reverse side of the Half Title page "This Edition is printed on Basingwerk Parchment and is limited to two thousand copies" Bound in blue cloth boards which look nice and clean, albeit there is some sun discolouration at the very edges of the boards and spine ends. The title lettering, whilst clear enough, does look somewhat faded away, as does the Navarre Society motif in the centre of the spine.

The dust jacket is clean and not price clipped, although rubbed at the extremities with a little loss at the fore edge (back cover), head of spine and exremities. The jacket appears to have been backed, quite skilfully by the look of it, with white restorative paper which shows through where there is loss. Now protected by a removeable jacket sleeve. In all a very handsome and presentable copy of this scarce limited edition. Blanch (illustrator).…
