There is note stating that Chapter 27 was 'excised for certain political considerations'. A comfortable copy. The dustjacket (classic Gollancz yellow) has a clear plastic protective cover. The dj has some wear, some marks. It is secure and sure. The boards have some shelving wear about the edges and the head and foot of the spine. There are some very mild shelving marks to the bottom rims. The boards are healthy and steady. The papertrims are much foxed (some of these marks seep through to the main body of the page). The letter was attached to the front pastedown with scotch tape. This has left residue and stains. The contents are pleasing. The pages are clean, clear, contented, assured, tidy, confident, companionable, amenable. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
