About This Item
Gollancz London, 1954 A rare first edition in a complete but price clipped jacket, which is now protected. There are minor chip pings to the jacket, but nothing important is missing. The spine is a little darkened. The red cloth binding is not faded and the corners are sharp without softness. The text block is embrowned - poor quality paper having been chosen by the publisher. The binding is firm, there are no former owner names or marks. This not an ex library copy. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Hardcover.
