About This Item
London: John Lang, 1960. Housed in a VG tape-reinforced dustwrapper. The dustwrapper was "strengthened" by binder-style tape from the rear (not visible from the outside). The scarce first British edition of the author's first book. Certainly the book and dustwrapper show average wear -- but still a very collectible first.. First Edition. Hard Cover. VG+/VG.
