About this Item

SIGNED on the title page and rare thus. This is a clean and tight first edition in a protected as new cover, unclipped of course. Looks unread. Very neat owner name on the front end paper, with an attractive blind stamp, but these are small flaws. An excellent signed first edition hardback.
