A VG+ copy with a few small marks to the cloth, light rubbing to the spine ends and a small previous owner’s book-plate to the front free end-paper.

The D/W has no price to the spine suggesting that it was an export issue. To prove the first edition status of the D/W a black-and-white photocopy of the one in the British Library is included (which is identical) together with a before-and-after colour picture which clearly shows the extent of the restoration that has been undertaken. The D/W now shows as a near fine (or better) example. Rare. Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone
