Pastel paper-covered boards with a linen spine; titling in gilt. Clean text; 341 pages. Construction drawings as the endpapers. This copy has been SIGNED by the author on the Title Page. Bit of faint spotting tyo the top-edge; else, a Fine copy. The dustjacket is unclipped; in a plastic protector. . Signed by Author. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
