The book is tightly bound in its original dark cloth, presenting vivid, unoxidised gilt lettering that strikes brightly across the spine. The structural integrity is excellent, as the boards remain sharp and rigid with virtually no bumping to the corners or spine ends. The text block is immaculate, crisp, and bright, with no evidence of foxing, toning, or thumbing to the page edges. Internally, the pages are uniformly clean and completely free of any public-facing ownership inscriptions or marginalia. It is housed in a similarly exceptional, vibrant dust jacket that exhibits only the most microscopic traces of superficial shelf-wear to the extreme extremities, retaining its deep, rich colours without any sun-fading or clipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a true first edition, first printing of Peter Green's authoritative critical examination of the visionary Russian filmmaker.
