About this Item

New edition. 351 pages. The book is firmly bound in blue cloth, lettered and strikingly illustrated in silver, the extremities are lightly bumped and rubbed. The text block is slightly marked and age toned, with some off-setting to the map endpapers. The dust jacket is the original, it is slightly age toned, marked and rubbed, with a small area of loss to the lower left spine and a few other minor chips and short closed tears to the edges. A surprisingly uncommon and rather attractive edition, produced to a much higher standard than most Reprint Society publications, which Hammond posits may be because it was printed by Jonathan Cape along with their own reset 1958 edition. This is quite a well-preserved copy.
