The book itself is exceptionally well-preserved, tightly bound in its original green cloth with a bright, unrubbed crimson and gilt title panel to the spine. The boards are sharp and free from discernible shelf-wear, while the internal pages remain crisp, bright, and free from foxing or notable blemishes. The original dust jacket is remarkably vibrant, retaining its striking red hue without the typical fading, though it exhibits minimal rubbing to the extremities and a fractional nick to the upper spine crown. It remains unclipped, displaying the original '30\/- net' price on the front flap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This first edition is a cornerstone reference for any serious collector or scholar of the author's extensive output.
