London: P.R. Macmillan Limited, 1961. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #008136
8vo., 487pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition. Not published in the US but rather imported by Owen Davies, Chicago with their sticker on title page. Square, tight and clean throughout with a hint of wear at the spine ends but quite minor. Tiny bump to the one bottom tip. A few spots on top page edges. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($8.50 is stamped on top of the front flap and an $8.50 sticker is neatly placed over the 45s. price on the bottom of the front flap). has a touch of top edge-wear and some soiling on the rear panel. Short closed tear on the rear panel. but is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. A gorgeous collectible copy of a quite difficult title to find in such high-grade condition.
