Blue map endpapers, 239(i)pp with black and white line drawn illustrations by the author throughout. In original unclipped jacket priced at 15s net.

The dust jacket is now protected in a removable, clear cover (not shown) and has a touch of toning to the spine and a little more to the rear panel.

There is a little rubbing to the top and bottom edges with minor loss to the corners and a few very small closed tears of of less than 0.5 cm along the bottom edge.
