The original first state of 3000 copies were pulped due to an error on page 34 at the authors request. It is not known how many still survive as a small number were sent out for proof reading. According to Williamson only 12 copies exist but Matthews bibliography states a few more than this ended up in circulation. From experience the 1st state copies are incredibly rare. From a large collection of Henry Williamson's and his family's books. Includes a specially commissioned small bookplate affixed inside the book confirming this. The last book in the Chronicles of Ancient Sunlight. Book is very good++ and bright and clean. The complete wrapper is very good++ and bright. Edges lightly rubbed/creased.
