New, nearly flawless off-the-shelf copy of this perennial early-career text by Lenman, then Lecturer in, and now Professor of, Modern History at St. Andrews. This is the book's US edition, which has the same ISBN as the UK edition, with which it is supposed to be identical. Condition suggests storage in anaerobic, zero-gravity environment. Expressly not a remaindered or ex-library copy.

Official first edition, first printing (not counting unrecognized S. African editions), Allen & Unwin, UK, 1947. Attractive and apparently unread, with red cloth binding and pages bright and nearly as-new. Top edge dyed red.
A thing with this edition, as it were, is pronounced stripes of foxing on the free endpapers, where they are in contact with the pastedown endpapers and don't touch the jacket flaps. This copy has them, with no other foxing evident.
Jacket, of orange uncoated paper with red and black lettering, is on the line between G and VG with flaws acceptable for the higher category (one major spine chip, a few lesser nicks, moderate toning of spine), but when in doubt, especially with a fairly expensive book, the wise round down. Looks very attractive in a Mylar sleeve, vulnerable to harm otherwise. Comes by Gestalt in a protective Mylar sleeve.
 

A very clean unread copy with a deep red, unmarked binding and white pages. Top edge dyed a charcoal tone. No dust jacket.
Despite the last detail, this copy is almost without wear and aging, with cosmetic flaws comprising some faded gilt on the spine, a 1/16" divot of mysterious origin in the front pastedown endpaper (i.e., the paper attached to the inside of the front cover), and a typed sticker on the free endpaper directly opposite, with the former owner's name and address. When tested, this came up as easily as a Chiquita sticker from a banana, leaving no visible mark, and has been left alone merely on principle.
A bookstore price in light pencil has similarly been left alone next to the sticker, and promises levity -- i.e., is high.  
 
 
 

New off-the-shelf copy of this large-format softcover (with map), original 1975 edition. Straight, solid, and unread, and recently remaindered due to cosmetic wear, chiefly on the back cover.
A 2" closed tear on the top inside edge is the worst of it, with the rest being various minor rubs and scratches. Quite presentable, includes map.
