There is some age-related staining and light handling wear, though the jacket remains clean overall, with all artwork and lettering bright and vibrant. Jacket now protected in a plastic sleeve.

Internally, pages are clean, fresh, and tightly bound throughout, appearing little read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"rmw5tv\" data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"712\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003eFirst edition reprint published by Macmillan \u0026amp; Co., London, 1959.
