Jacket Condition: Very Good +. 1st US Edition, 1st Printing. 14 x 20. 6 cm orange cloth with black titles to the spine, [vi] 217[1]pp with original unclipped jacket priced at $5.00. The boards have been well protected by the dust jacket and are clean with bright titles. There is just a touch of pushing to the head of the spine and a tiny bruise on the bottom corner of the rear board. Internally clean, without name, inscription or bookplate and just a hint of spotting to the very edge of the text block, which appears not to have spread onto the pages. The dust jacket, which is now protected in a removable, clear cover (not shown), has a crease down the length of the front flap and a little light dust staining and toning to the top and bottom edges. A good looking copy. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
