A very good condition black cloth hardback with gilt lettering to spine. some wear and bumping to top right corner of front cover. With original dustjacket, not price clipped. Some nicked losses to top right corner and upper extremities in places. Slight stain to inside rear flap. The jacket is housed in protective, and removable, clear plastic sleeve.
