The original pale blue cloth binding remains square and tight with vibrant, unoxidised lettering to the spine, showing only traces of mild shelf-wear and slight bumping to the extremities. The text block is securely bound with fully intact hinges; however, moderate foxing is present across the page block edges and preliminary leaves, which is typical for the paper stock of this era. The original unclipped dust jacket (priced 7\/6 net) is remarkably well-preserved for its age, exhibiting only slight edge-wear, minor rubbing to the corners, and subtle darkening and foxing to the rear panel and inner flaps, completely avoiding any significant chips or tears. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"780\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"780\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a first edition, first printing of F.
