Black cloth bound boards with orange titling to the spine and orange frieze-type decorations to the front cover. In the original publisher's decorated dustjacket, which is not price-clipped. There is some edge-wear and tears to the dustjacket corners, which have been repaired to the inside of the d/j with clear archive tape. There is also a little loss to the top of the dustjacket spine. There is some foxing (brown spotting) to the page fore-edges, to the endpapers and to some of the page-edges/pages. There are NO inscriptions or other marks.
