About This Item
London: Gerald Duckworth & Sons, 1961. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, showing little wear. The burgundy covers are fresh, with light bumps to the top and botttom of the spine, but little wear else. The gilt lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and is also in excellent condition, with minimal wear and just a bit of soiling visible on the back panel. The dust jacket is now in a protective plastic cover, and looks very attractive.
