Winchester Press, 1982. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket. This is de luxe collectors' edition number 170 of only 250 copies made. Beautifully bound in quarter leather with raised bands and gold gilt to the spine. With its own custom slipcase. The spine is ever so slightly faded, but there are no other visible signs of wear, and the boards remain strong and sturdy. Internally, there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are neat, pristine and complete. Tightly bound and handsome indeed! JK.
