About This Item
The Book club Collins 1968 These book club editions by collins came out shortly after Collins published the first editions. Most in the same year. yet these came out with their own original dust jacket designs and they are very attractive making them a collector's item in their own right. The book is very tight, bright and clean. No ownership marks. Lovely dust jacket with some minor loss to spine top and bottom edges and a little rubbing. Protected in mylar. Not clipped and not ex-lib.
