About This Item
Cassell, 1960. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. The dust jacket is shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, with multiple small chips, tears and creases along the edges, especially near the spine. Despite this, the jacket remains legible, whole and bright. Internally, there are ink and stamp markings on the front end page and pastedown, and the pages are tanned and foxed throughout. Despite this, the pages are neat, complete and legible. There are no other markings or inscriptions within. The book is a touch cocked, but the binding remains tight and it is presented charmingly in cellophane. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
