There are the remnants of a very small purple stamp to the bottom right of the rear pastedown (size of 1.5cm by 1cm), and this is covered by the dust jacket. Some light foxing and creasing to the end papers but otherwise a pleasing copy. - The dust jacket is in fair condition and has not had its price clipped with a price of 4/- Net shown.
