About this Item

Black cloth with gilt (naturally!) lettering to fr. and sp. 446 pp. (prelims in roman), 4 8 pp. blocks of coloured ills ex-pagination; front end-paper has fulsome inscription to 'Tim Williams' sig. by author, dated November 2007. Pristine unclipped jacket in protective sleeve as acquired. A small clipping of a letter by author, with col. ills, slipped in to fr. jacket wraparound, source not given. I might note that jacket illustrations and design differ from that on 2 other copies I am listing, though design credit the same and lack ISBN number to back. Unclear why this should be, this jacket in some ways better than others, explanation may lie in fact the others have a 'Shapps Pixley Ltd. Bullion Brokers' logo to bottom sp., though only GFMS on t.p. 19.5 cm x 26 cm.
