First edition. Condition:Good. Hardback in Good dust jacket. This is an ex library book but attempts have been made to clean it up. While there are two stamps on the text block another stamp on the reverse of the title page has been whitened out and a sticker appears to have been quite cleanly removed from a rear end paper. The dust jacket has a small label at the foot of the spine, is price clipped, has some rubbing at the extremities and one or two nicks, but is now protected in a plastic jacket. Otherwise the binding is tight and the text clear. |
