Presentation plate affixed to front pasted endpaper . Laid in is the letter from Harcourt Bindery, signed by Sam Ellenport. FINE in NEAR FINE slipcase. A fresh, clean, tightly bound copy.

Spine leather very slightly darkened, all else fine. Slipcase is covered in matching cloth with printed color pastedown on front panel. Slipcase clean and intact, slightly rubbed at edges.
