About This Item
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1972. First Edition. Red Leather. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾. N/a. 92pp. 1972. First edition. A unique copy bound in contemporary red leather - gilt embossed to the spine. Marbled endpapers. Flat signed in blue ink by the author, Brian Benabo to the verso of the half-title page and dated 22.11.72. The text supported by a number of illustrations. The slightest of spotting to the upper fore-edge. This copy has the original dust jacket (not price-clipped), which has some edgewear, rubbing and shelf wear. The book would look much nicer in its red leather without the jacket - should it be discarded.
