About This Item
1961. NF/VG++. 1st Edition. 12.2 x 19 cm maroon cloth with gilt stamped titles to the spine. 109[3]pp with original unclipped jacket priced at 10s 6d net. A near fine book, internally clean, without name, inscription or bookplate and just a hint of toning/acid migration to the endpapers where the dust jacket does not touch. The dust jacket has a little light toning and dust marking to the white on the rear panel and is now protected in a removable cover. There is a hint of rubbing to the spine tips and a couple of tiny closed tears of under 3mm. All in all a lovely 1st Edition copy of this 'carnival of manners'.
