About This Item
London: W. M. Thompson, 1966. First Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 1966 ADVANCE PROOF COPY of First Edition. Original pale green wrappers with black lettering front and spine. The book has fading along the edges both front and back and the spine is faded.

The book measures 240mm tall x 185mm, and has 127 pages, 30 b/w photos, 1 map. The final product, what was actually sold in stores as the published first edition, had 32 photos.
