First UK Edition. The VG book and blue boards are tight and clean. The VG D/W is lightly browned at the edges and has a shallow 3 mm chip at the top of the spine. There is also light, shallow chipping to the top edge of the rear panel (not affecting any lettering) and a small triangular chip to the bottom edge of the rear panel just affecting one of the blurbs. . Overall though the D/W is bright and looks great. The nicest copy of this fragile book that I have seen in the last 20 years. The pale blue D/W is susceptible to fading and this copy has lasted the test of time very well. Seller Inventory # 355490717311
