Documented by RR Auction (copy of certificate included) A very, very elusive book in GOOD condition lacking a DJ. This copy is tight with fading along the boards and spine end. But the gilt and design on the spine are still clear. Within there is a bit of foxing on the end pages but the text is clean.
