The publisher’s original blue cloth binding remains firm, tight, and square, retaining deep, vivid colour and bright, unoxidised silver tooling to both the spine and front board. The corners are sharp, and the spine ends show only trivial pushing. Internally, the text block is exceptionally clean, crisp, and bright throughout, free from any foxing, previous ownership markings, or blemishes. The unclipped printed dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, exhibiting excellent colour saturation and gloss, though it bears minor edgewear and a few small creases and nicks along the bottom margin of the front panel, alongside the light surface rubbing typical of glossy jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: First edition.
