FIRST EDITION, HAMISH HAMILTON 1963. Acceptable condition - ex-library. Binding is quite fragile where the front cover is attached - it is hanging on pretty much by the binding fabric. Dust wrapper is in good condition, though it has a small tear inside the back cover, and has been taped to both inside covers. The tape has corroded, browned and left marks. It has been encased in a protective plastic sleeve, as well (which does not unfortunately cover the taped ends), and that has creased it in several places. Three library stamps from Oldham Libraries are on the title page. The tape inside the back cover has made a mark on the opposite page. The rest of the pages however, are very good - crisp and clean. Despite its faults this remains a tight copy of an attractive, beautifully illustrated rare book!
