DESCRIPTION
First Edition
Book measures 240mm x 165mm approximately.
Hardback book with dust jacket. 305pp.
CONDITION
An ex-public library book in reasonable condition. The book is still tight although with a central break to internal binding, but with all pages intact. The dust jacket is within an acetate cover and in good condition, with only a few very minor surface marks, and a little sun-induced fading to spine. Internally the pages are generally clean with only very mild marginal toning, occasional stains and the odd spot to page edges.
