Description:
First edition, first impression, published The Bodley Head in 1952 and the basis for the classic 1960 film adaptation.Original coral cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. A very good book with a hint of spotting and dustiness to edges, in a very good, unclipped dust jacket featuring striking cover art by James Boswell. A few tears to edges with moderate edge wear and light soiling in places, primarily to lower panel, otherwise very good.
