Bound in the original blue cloth boards with a quarter gilt and yellow cloth spine, the book presents beautifully, retaining bright and unoxidised tooling to the front board. Externally, there is only slight rubbing to the edges and corners, with the printed paper spine label remaining fully intact, albeit slightly toned. The binding remains remarkably tight and square. Internally, the thick, deckle-edged pages are exceptionally clean and free from any significant foxing, marks, or creases, making this a highly attractive copy that fully justifies its grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a limited first edition of 500 copies, signed by both the author, A.
