About This Item
First UK edition, first impression.
Original grey cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Some toning to edges and foxing to top edge, near fine otherwise in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with some toning to spine panel, rubbing to edges and a small area of abrasion to bottom corner of lower panel. A very good copy indeed of the author's most famous book.
