London: Cassell, 1943. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's pale green boards with black lettering to the spine. Boards bright and clean. Dusty top-edge. Pages cockled (caused by damp). Damp stains to the bottom edge of the text block throughout. Still a near VG copy. The VG dustwrapper is priced 8/6 net to the spine (as called for). The verso of the dustwrapper shows clear evidence of water damage but is complete. Looks better than it sounds and inexplicably uncommon. Photographs/scans available upon request.
