London: David & Charles, 1984. First edition, 1984. Hardback. 151pp. Grey cloth binding with gilt to spine. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve.

Book in very good condition. Minor creasing to very upper corner of first thirty pages with diminishing effect. Very slight toning to page edges. Internally clean and unmarked. Dust jacket good and unclipped. Minor edge wear. Some discolouration to a band across the top edges and less so to bottom edges.
