True first British printing. With original unclipped jacket (7s 6d). Illustrated by Peter Farmer. Jacket has patchy edge/shelf wear, a little patchy loss (mainly to head/tail of spine and to corners), few small (approx. 5mms) tears, little browning to spine, the odd small mark, little creasing/rubbing to edges and is in only fair condition. Boards are near fine (having been well protected by the jacket) with a hint of pushing to corners and minor pushing/rubbing to head/tail of spine. Little spine lean. Pages are generally clean and the binding is tight. Pages are a bit tanned. Very occasional small mark/spot of foxing to pages. No other faults. All books described honestly and accurately. Paypal accepted.
